Axis Company's "HOSPITAL 2000" Premise Film

Axis Company's episodic play Hospital (a West Village phenomenon every year) examines the interior life of a man in a terminal coma. Entering this state in a different way every year, the audience travels with him as he lives out his last few days roaming the vast, dark interiors of his own brain.

Although Hospital is a serial play, each evening can be viewed separately as a self-contained, short play.

Through the careful utilization of various media AXIS has produced an eclectic series of original and published plays with highly advanced, state of the art technological components that enhance the internal meaning of the material. Past productions include Buchner's Woyzeck, Beckett's Play, Benjamin Baker's 1848 sensation A Glance at New York and the U.S. premiere of Sarah Kane's Crave, starring Deborah Harry.

Randy Sharp, Director; Filmed by Mott Hupfel, with Brian Barnhart, Nancy Cashman, Dan Killeen, Chris Burns, David Guion, Dominic DeLeo, Laurie Kilmartin, Bob Cucuzza
