A play in two parts by NICK MCCARTY with 1: This Living Hand
A tough, aggressive boy from a broken family studies to become a surgeon in the days when limbs were sawn off without anaesthetic. Gradually he becomes aware of a power more devastating than a clenched fist, more piercing than a surgeon's knife.
