THE PRIEST’S TALE performed by Michael Mears
Friday 27 September 2024 7.30 pm Chester Quaker Meeting House, Frodsham Street, CH1 3LF
Newly revised and staged for live performance, THE PRIEST’S TALE by actor/playwright Michael Mears is his solo adaptation of an account of one of the atomic-bomb survivors from John Hersey’s 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 terror wrought at the start of our nuclear age...told with compassion, warmth and flashes of humour...
Performance lasts approx. 1 hour – with a Q and A and refreshments afterwards Tickets £5 Bookings: www.ticketsource.co.uk/chester-quakers or email: chesterquakers@outlook.com
