An Evening Remembering Hiroshima and Nagasaki

Newly revised and staged for live performance, The Priest’s Tale by award-winning British actor/playwright Michael Mears is his adaptation of one of the atomic-bomb survivors’ accounts from John Hersey’s remarkable book Hiroshima*.

Father Wilhelm was a German Jesuit priest living in Hiroshima, who survived the blast but witnessed much of the destruction. Told with compassion, warmth and flashes of humour, The Priest’s Tale is a clear-eyed depiction of the pity of war… and of the terror wrought at the start of our nuclear age.

After the 1 hour (approx.) performance there will be an audience Q&A.
