THE PRIEST’S TALE with Michael Mears and Chihiro Ono.
Newly revised and staged for live performance, THE PRIEST’S TALE by 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. 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.
Live musical accompaniment will be provided by London-based Japanese violinist CHIHIRO ONO. After the 1 hour (approx.) performance there will be a Q and A and a guest speaker – details tbc.
This event is supported by CND, with all donations being shared by Sands Films and CND. No admission charge. Register here: https://sandsmusic.eventive.org/schedule/667d39806749e300a686d8c1
