After World War II, Kyushu, a Japanese street-kid from Hiroshima, is sent to the hospital. For mysterious reasons, she seems to be losing her eyesight. Could it be the lingering effects of the bomb dropped on her city? When it seems that her doctors may not be able to help, she meets Sadako, a brave girl who teaches Kyushu how to make origami paper cranes and how to find hope in the darkest places. This award-winning play, based on the Japanese tradition of the origami crane as a symbol of peace and the story of the real Sadako Sasaki, gives families an opportunity to discuss what happens to innocent children when adults go to war. Recommended for ages 10 and up.
