1945. The United States drops two atomic bombs on Japan, heralding a terrifying new era of warfare.
The compelling stories of the brilliant Hungarian scientist who helps create the atom bomb, the daring American pilot who delivers it and the devoted Japanese daughter who suffers the devastating consequences fatally intertwine across countries, continents and decades.
Partly using verbatim testimonies, this powerful new play explores the events surrounding the catastrophic "mistake" that launched our nuclear age.
Produced by Essential Theatre.
