Now that the Nobel peace prize has been awarded to a Japanese anti-nuclear group, Nihon Hidankyo, this is the perfect time to stage my play about Major Eatherly, the only pilot who took part in the bombing of Hiroshima and went crazy with guilt when he saw what The Bomb had done. Fallout has already had a successful run at the State Theater in downtown State College so it's ready for production. Does anyone know a producer or director who' would be willing to take it on?

Just seen all your birthday wishes!! Thank you all very much! There' such a rift between hearing the news and life once I switch it off that I hope we can somehow survive this year. Friendship makes everything possible ###

It's now two years since Fallout ran in State College, but it's even more relevant now. The world has forgotten World War Two. This play is my attempt to stop it happening again by resurrecting Major Eatherly's plea for peace. I hope someone out there is listening...

Fallout was amazingly timely. It is the true story of a Hiroshima pilot who was brave enough to stand against nuclear war.
I can hardly believe that we are now facing the extinction of our world. Nothing could be more important, yet we are so busy hating each other that we are letting this madness happen.. If the nuclear bomb drops, it won't matter whether we are Black or white, or Democrat or Republican, or Russian or American. We must unite to stop our leaders from blowing us all to bits.
It's time we followed Major Eatherly's example. We have to stop this madness. Our leaders have to stop churning out weapons and start negotiating for peace. Because this is no play. This is reality, and we must act now, before it's too late.'

Well, having wrapped up the show and crunched all the final numbers, FALLOUT was not only a success on stage, but also for the producers who walked away without losing any money, successfully covering their large budget. A HUGE thank you for all of the initial investors who helped make this possible. When we support the arts, we support jobs for actors, designers, directors, and many more! Thank you all for your wonderful support. It means the world to us and keeps the world meaningful for us all.
