Hiroshima Day - The Priest's Tale

THE PRIEST'S TALE is an adaptation by actor/playwright Michael Mears of one of the survivor’s accounts from John Hersey’s classic book HIROSHIMA (published by Penguin).
Father Wilhelm was a German Jesuit priest living in Hiroshima at the time of the first atomic bombing. His account is a compelling and clear-eyed description of his experiences that day and in the subsequent months and years – told with compassion and warmth.
At 7.30pm on August 6th, the 75th anniversary of the Hiroshima bomb, Michael Mears will perform this story with live violin accompaniment by Chihiro Ono. (Duration approx. 50 mins.) Directorial supervision is by Rosamunde Hutt and the event is co-hosted with the Peace and Justice Centre, Edinburgh. www.sandsfilms.co.uk

Nagasaki Day - The Doctor's Tale

THE DOCTOR'S TALE is an edited version by actor/playwright Michael Mears of NAGASAKI 1945, an account by a young doctor, Tatsuichiro Akizuki, working in a small hospital in Nagasaki at the time of the second atomic bomb, detailing how he and his small staff, with very limited supplies, survived that day and the following weeks.
At 7.30pm on August 9th, the 75th anniversary of the Nagasaki bomb,
a Japanese actor (casting tbc) will give a livestreamed rehearsed reading of this story, with support from Michael Mears and with live atmospheric musical accompaniment by Chihiro Ono.
