# Event Details - **Event Name**: The Doctor by Dr. Farokh Udwadia - **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 12 Apr, 2026 at 07:00 pm (+05:30) - **Event Description**: When a seventeen-year-old rape survivor is rushed to hospital with catastrophic injuries, Professor Rustom Irani, one of the country’s most respected doctors, makes a split-second decision that will change his life forever. The girl refuses life-saving surgery—but Irani performs it anyway, believing it is her only chance to survive.When she dies days later, his actions ignite a national scandal. Accused of violating patient autonomy, denying a family their religious rites, and overstepping the limits of medical authority, Irani finds himself at the centre of a fierce public debate. As colleagues turn against him and a tribunal examines his choices, the question grows sharper: where does a doctor’s duty truly lie—with the patient’s wishes, the family’s faith, or the instinct to save a life at any cost?Written by renowned physician Dr Farokh Udwadia, The Doctor is a powerful contemporary reimagining of Professor Bernhardi, the classic play by Austrian dramatist Arthur Schnitzler. Transposing Schnitzler’s timeless ethical dilemma into a modern Indian context, the play explores the fault lines between medicine, religion, and public opinion in a world where a single decision can ignite a national reckoning.This special event marks the first time the play will be performed in front of an audience as a staged reading, offering audiences a rare opportunity to experience a new work at an early stage of its life. The evening will conclude with a Q&A with Dr Farokh Udwadia, offering insight into the play’s themes, its origins, and the ethical questions at its heart.Provocative, compassionate, and deeply human, The Doctor asks a haunting question: when lives are at stake, who has the right to decide what is right?Staged Reading in EnglishAn NCPA PresentationAge Limit: 16+Late entry will not be permitted.  - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/mumbai/the-doctor-by-dr-farokh-udwadia/3900029889417626 - **Event Categories**: Art, Theatre, Nonprofit - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 3 - **Event Highlights**: - Age Limit: 16 - Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket URL**: https://in.bookmyshow.com/events/the-doctor-by-farokh-udwadia/ET00490474 - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 250, currency: INR ## Event venue details - **city**: Mumbai - **state**: MH - **country**: India - **location**: Experimental Theatre: NCPA. - **lat**: 19.0759837000 - **long**: 72.8776559000 - **full address**: Experimental Theatre: NCPA., Experimental Theatre: NCPA., Mumbai, MH, India ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: banner - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events4/banners/b6237390-2f28-11f1-bec9-ad3f1e96ac99-rimg-w1200-h600-dc16374b-gmir.jpg?v=1775198732 - **Alt text**: thumbnail - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events6/banners/b699b500-2f28-11f1-bec9-ad3f1e96ac99-rimg-w300-h300-dc163749-gmir.jpg?v=1775198733 ## FAQs - **Q**: When is the event happening? - **A:** Sun, 12 Apr, 2026 at 07:00 pm (+05:30) - **Q**: Where is the event happening? - **A:** Experimental Theatre: NCPA., Experimental Theatre: NCPA., Mumbai, MH, India - **Q**: What is the ticket price? - **A:** starting from 250 INR - **Q**: Who is organizing the event? - **A:** Event Navigator - **Q**: What type of event is this? - **A:** Art, Theatre, Nonprofit - **Q**: What is the age limit of the event? - **A:** 16 - **Q**: What is the duration of the event? - **A:** 1 hour 30 minutes - **Q**: What is the languages of the event? - **A:** English - **Q**: Where can I find ticket details about The Doctor by Dr. Farokh Udwadia ? - **A:** You can find ticket details about this event on AllEvents. ## Structured Data (JSON-LD) ```json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Event", "name": "The Doctor by Dr. Farokh Udwadia", "image": "https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events4/banners/b6237390-2f28-11f1-bec9-ad3f1e96ac99-rimg-w1200-h600-dc16374b-gmir.jpg?v=1775198732", "startDate": "2026-04-12T19:00:00+05:30", "url": "https://allevents.in/mumbai/the-doctor-by-dr-farokh-udwadia/3900029889417626", "eventStatus": "https://schema.org/EventScheduled", "location": { "@type": "Place", "name": "Experimental Theatre: NCPA.", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "Experimental Theatre: NCPA., Mumbai, MH, India", "addressLocality": "Mumbai", "addressRegion": "MH", "addressCountry": "IN" }, "geo": { "@type": "GeoCoordinates", "latitude": "19.0759837000", "longitude": "72.8776559000" } }, "eventAttendanceMode": "https://schema.org/OfflineEventAttendanceMode", "description": "When a seventeen-year-old rape survivor is rushed to hospital with catastrophic injuries, Professor Rustom Irani, one of the country’s most respected doctors, makes a split-second decision that will change his life forever.
