'The Priest's Tale'

There's a chance to see this riveting play, written and performed by award-winning actor Michael Mears at the Arrupe Hall, Farm Street Church, 114 Mount Street, W1K 3AH, on Tuesday, 5 August at 7pm.

Newly revised and staged for live performance, The Priests Tale is based on 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. Followed by Q & A
