- Harvest is a futuristic play by Manjula Padmanabhan about organ-selling in India. It was first published in 1997 by Kali for Women. Harvest is also a dystopian play as it describes the organ selling and padmanabhan has a vision of how in future the organ trading would be legal. The play takes place in a future Bombay in 2010. Om Prakash, a jobless Indian, agrees to sell unspecified organs through InterPlanta Services, Inc. to a rich person for a small fortune. InterPlanta and the recipients are obsessed with maintaining Om's health and invasively control the lives of Om, his mother Ma, and his wife Jaya in their one-room apartment. The recipient, Ginni, periodically looks in on them via videophone and treats them condescendingly. Om's diseased brother Jeetu is taken to give organs instead of Om. Harvest won the 1997 Onassis Prize as the best new international play. The playtext was published by Aurora Metro Books in 2003. (en)
