The Doctor’s Tale – written by actor/playwright Michael Mears, is an account by a young doctor working in a small Catholic hospital in Nagasaki at the time of the second atomic bomb, detailing how he and his few staff, with very limited supplies, survived that day and the following weeks.
Japanese actor Leo Ashizawa gives an intense, livestreamed reading of this story, with support from Michael Mears and live musical accompaniment by Chihiro Ono. The performance was filmed on the 75th anniversary of the Nagasaki bomb. (Duration about 90 minutes)
