Chandra is an environmental activist protesting against an opencast coalmine on top of the sacred Mount Vardasi. Nearby an international climate summit is about to take place that could save the planet or sign its death warrant, depending on the minister surviving long enough to make his speech. The mine owner, Nadia believes that global warming is a natural phenomenon and nothing to do with carbon emissions. While publicly bitter enemies, Chandra and Nadia have a secret they can no longer avoid. Amid environmental havoc and torn loyalties, is blood is thicker than CO2?

Endless Night was presented alongside Purnjanam/Born Again in an evening titled ‘Tagore’s Women’. The two plays revealing personal lives amidst global political struggles, inspired by the female characters in the works of Rabindranath Tagore, the celebrated Bengali poet, playwright and early anti-British rule activist.
