Mastermind. Code breaker. Maverick. Arguably one of the most important and inquisitive minds of the twentieth century. Alan Turing is famed for cracking the Enigma code at Bletchley Park, effectively securing victory for the Allied forces in WWII.
From triumph to tragedy, get to know a human being who loved, lost and never stopped asking questions in a quest for truth and understanding in this new production of Hugh Whitemore’s Breaking The Code.
For the first time, taking into consideration his recent Royal pardon and the development of Turing’s law, the original play will feature a new epilogue by Neil Bartlett that speaks to Turing’s lasting legacy on modern Britain.
Stay after the audio-described performance on Wed 24 September for an exclusive Post-Show Q&A with director Jesse Jones and the cast of Breaking The Code. Dive deeper into the story, the production, and the creative process in this engaging discussion, which will be audio described for accessibility.
