A Thousand Cranes October 25, 2008

Playwright Colin Thomas entwines two stories of children living worlds apart. Sadako, a young girl, lives through the atomic bombing of her city, Hiroshima, and must contend with its aftermath. Rad, a young boy, flees to Canada to escape the ravages of war in the Balkans. An ancient Japanese myth provides them with the bravery to turn something ominous into something beautiful.
