Booking: The Priest's Tale

Michel Mears as Fr Wilhelm

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. Sands Films Studios in Rotherhithe, east London host the play on 8th August - in person and online.

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..

Live musical accompaniment will be provided by London-based Japanese violinist Chihoro Ono. After the one hour (approx.) performance there will be a Q and A and a guest speaker - details tbc.

This event is supported by CND, with donations being shared by Sands Films and CND. No admission charge. Register here: https://sandsmusic.eventive.org/schedule/667d39806749e300a686d8c1
