Inspired by the true story of Sadako Sasaki and the Thousand Paper Cranes
70 years after Hiroshima, Childsplay brings back the powerful drama about a young Japanese girl and her dream. This poignant, yet hopeful, play tells the true story of Sadako Sasaki, who was just 2 years old when the bomb fell on Hiroshima. Sadako’s courage and determination in the face of personal adversity remains relevant half a century later as children around the world still dream of peace.
