‘The whole way I am oppressed by the thought that all the damage I see was done in one instant by one bomb.’ Father Wilhelm in THE PRIEST’S TALE.
I’m giving two more performances of this piece in early November. Based on an account in John Hersey’s brilliant book ‘Hiroshima’, it’s the compelling story of a German priest who survived the first atomic bomb.
On Sunday November 3rd, 1.30pm at Hammersmith Quaker Meeting House, London, W6 0DT, nearest tube – Ravenscourt Park. The Priest’s Tale – a story for our times | Hammersmith Quaker Meeting (hammersmithquakers.org.uk)
And on Thursday 7th November, 7pm, at Edinburgh Quaker Meeting House, EH1 2JL. quakerscotland.org

I just saw Priest’s Tale on YouTube. I was blown away (pardon pun) by Mr. Mears’ performance. A privilege to experience the first hand account. So real and true. Moving. Inspiring. Thank you!
