"The Monkey's Paw" is a supernatural short story by author W. W. Jacobs, first published in England in the collection The Lady of the Barge in 1902. In the story, three wishes are granted to the owner of The Monkey's Paw, but the wishes come with an enormous price for interfering with fate.  It has been adapted many times in other media, including plays, films, TV series, operas, stories and comics, as early as 1903 and as recently as 2019. Naatak Radio's Monkey's Paw is based in Lansing, Michigan and the recipients of the paw are the Kuriens. 

Adapted and performed by Kartic Bhargav and sound design by Navi Viswanathan.
