SONG OF SURVIVAL
Based on the autobiographical work of Helen Colijn, who survived
three-and-a-half years of internment in Japanese prisoner-of-war camps, Song
of Survival is
"a stunning drama about women interned during World War II in Japanese
prisoner of war camps and the music they created to sustain themselves.
A powerful and well-scripted depiction of an extraordinary story." (Monterey
County Register).
Present-day Helen, as narrator, faces herself as a younger Helen in the
group of imprisoned women. Conflict results. Today's Helen urges
forgiveness, young Helen insists that the daily horrors be remembered.
Among the prisoners there's humor, extraordinary courage and compassion,
as well as acts of selfishness. But above all, there's glorious music to
unite them and give them hope. "Great theatre that touches the heart
with its story and music." (Daily Californian)
