Heart transplant. Part 1, Trauma.

This is the first part of Jonathan Holloway's play based on the true story of 50-year-old ex-boxer Louis Washkansky's heart transplant operation. In December 1967, Washkansky received the heart of a young woman in an operation performed by Christiaan Bernard. It was the first human heart transplant in Cape Town, South Africa. This part follows the time leading up to the surgery and the operation itself.
