Production Description

A new play – an adaptation by award winning solo actor/playwright Michael Mears of one of the survivor’s accounts from John Hersey’s book HIROSHIMA.

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.

On August 6th 2020, on the 75th anniversary of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, Michael Mears performed this story live from the stage of Sands Films Studio Theatre, London; with violin accompaniment by Japanese musician, Chihiro Ono. Directorial supervision by Rosamunde Hutt

‘An extraordinary piece of theatre’ – INDEPENDENT CATHOLIC NEWS.
‘Profoundly moving’ – M.P. (London)
‘So brilliant; and the live music was beautifully haunting’ P.G. (New York)
