This play was written to mark the 75th anniversary of Hiroshima. The performance at Wesley Centre in Chester is part of the play’s 2023 Autumn Tour. All the tour performances will be followed by a Q and A with the cast for those of the audience who can stay.

“Michael Mears’ Essential Theatre presents a new play – THE MISTAKE by Michael Mears

“1942.  On an abandoned squash court, a dazzling scientific experiment takes place that three years later will destroy a city and change the world forever.  Two actors, one British, one Japanese, explore the events surrounding the catastrophic ‘mistake’ that launched our nuclear age.

“Interweaving the stories of a young woman in war-time Hiroshima, a
brilliant Hungarian scientist, and the American pilot who flew the
plane that dropped the bomb, THE MISTAKE is a powerful drama that
confronts the dangers that arise when humans dare to unlock the awesome
power of nature.”
