Ashes Ashes

Overview

Shuttling between 80s New York and 50s Hiroshima, this new play explores imagined encounters between a Japanese-American reporter, a Japanese survivor-turned-prostitute, and the pilot and co-pilot of the Enola Gay. An exploration of the costs of total war and the minds of its apologists. Originally slated to premiere at Theater for the New City on August 6, 2020, the 75th anniversary of the bombing.
