About this listen
Intravenous lines, catheters, bodies in distress, wounds: three young surgical interns working the hospital night shifts must care for – and keep alive – the influx of patients, while frightened and uncertain about what the night will throw at them.
The Night Interns beautifully conjures the alien space of the hospital wards and corridors through the viewpoint of one of the interns, as he comes to terms with the bodily reality of the patients and the bizarre instruments of healing. Equally unsettling for the inexperienced junior staff are the dysfunctional hierarchies of the hospital workplace. Under intense pressure and with very little sleep, the interns are inured to their encounters with sickness, all the while searching for the meaning in their work.
By turns moving, shocking and darkly funny, The Night Interns fizzes with nervous energy, forensic insight and moral tension as it confronts life and death on the frontline.
