. The Hurricane (play) was first produced in 1960 at the World Assembly for Moral Re-Armament at Caux, in Switzerland. [...] Dr. Frank Buchman concluded his address at the opening of the Assembly at Caux with these words: 'It needs a hurricane of common sense to bring men to their senses, restoring the Communist and the non-Communist world to sanity and unity before it is too late. That hurricane is sweeping through every nation today, and in the midst of the hurricane the still small Voice of the living God, an unseen but ever-present Guide, willing and able to speak to the men of the Kremlin, the men of Washington, to the millions everywhere, leaders and led, who have lost their way and sek to find it.' (Introduction).
