Some survivors of the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima are learning how to speak English in a foreign language school The children tease a young girl who has wooden leg, calling her "Miss Woodstick " A boy defends her from the teasing, and tells how he does not love her, but deeply feels for her. This beginning to the play "Hibakusha: A Love Story from Hiroshima", by the Modern Times Theater of New York, is one of the many scenes of sur vival in post-war Hiroshima. The five actors, two black and three white, transcend the racial and cultural barriers of the Japanese characters They play various roles throughout the play, depicting orphans, students, sailors, members of a once wealthy family, workers forced to work menial jobs, members of a survivors assoc iation. and film actors Modern Times Theater was founded in 1977 to create plays about the human realities of social change, and issues which are socially relevant to our times When asked why the group chose this theme from among many issues, Steve Friedman, author of the play, said,"it is the most important, it is a question of life." The groups Eugene performance was the last a five and-a-half week tour that stretched from the East coast to the West coast The play's name, Hibakusha (hi-bak'-sha), is a "polite" word for explo sion-affected person or people, meaning the survivors of the atomic bombs dropped on Hi roshima and Nagasaki in 1945. The actors depict life in the "new world" after the explo sion, a life of alienation and disorientation where there is no future, but only the past Joan Rosenfels played Kiku Maetani, the girl with the wooden leg, who is the central character throughout the play Kiku and Hiroshi Okamoto, played by Tony Todd, manage to hold on to a tenuous relationship in their uncertain worlds. Peggy Pettitt, Janet Langon, and Steve Friedman played the various characters which revolve around Kiku and Hiroshi, who are based on actual people. The powerful conclusion to the play with the characters acting for a film company their experiences during the explo sion, describing the horrors they saw and felt, silenced the audience of fifty for several minutes. “Hibakusha" was profound and moving, bringing home the realities of an atomic war.
