We had a wonderful time performing THE MISTAKE twice at Greenbelt Festival this weekend – in a big-top tent! About 400 people crammed in on each day, spilling outside as well…and despite some of the tent sides being left open to help cool everyone down, and despite noise coming in from music tents and from kids playing and shouting, the audience was so concentrated – pin-drop attention they gave us. Huge thanks to all who came and sat on the ground or propped themselves up on small portable seats or just stood at the back … and huge thanks to everyone at Greenbelt Festival who makes this unique annual event possible. I managed to speak to a few people afterwards and one older Japanese woman said – ‘It was so moving to see 400 British people sitting down to watch this story about Hiroshima.’ That comment really makes all the effort worthwhile…this is why we do it…

And now, two weeks today, it’s next stop Japan!! Tokyo – Saturday Sept. 13th to Sunday Sept. 21st.  (Not September 16th or 18th)   https://ayamachi.peatix.com/
