“Astro Boy and the God of Comics” [#geekgirl]

[From this article at The Artery] “Onoda Power’s play is about the magic of creation, says Young, and Tezuka’s message was one of peace, especially coming in the years after the atomic bomb was dropped on Japan.

“You know he wanted to create something that children could love that also was a friendly reminder that violence doesn’t necessarily have to be the answer,” Young says.

That’s one of the play’s many messages too, delivered by a bright-eyed little boy robot obsessed with saving the world.

“Astro Boy and the God of Comics” runs through August 16 at the Boston Center for the Arts.”
