Description
Breaking the Code by Hugh Whitemore A compassionate play that explores two pivotal moments in Alan Turing's life. During World War II, he cracked the German Enigma code, earning recognition from Churchill. In peacetime, his homosexuality led to arrest and persecution. This play seeks to find a connection between these two events. First performed in the 1980s, Breaking the Code was critically acclaimed in the UK before its Broadway transfer won numerous awards. The play's non-linear structure shifts back and forth in time, revealing Turing's story in all its complexity. A powerful exploration of identity, loyalty, and the human cost of war, Breaking the Code is a thought-provoking drama that continues to resonate with audiences today.
