ABOUT THE SHOW
Alan Turing was hailed by Winston Churchill as having made the single biggest contribution to Allied victory in the war against Nazi Germany for breaking the Enigma code.
By 1952 the eccentric British mathematician’s security clearance was revoked and he was barred from British intelligence work after being convicted for “gross indecency” - homosexual acts.
"BREAKING THE CODE" is Turing’s pioneering story of scientific achievement - the father of the computer and artificial intelligence.
Eddie Shields ("Angels in America") is Turing in a new production helmed by Elliot Norton winner Scott Edmiston ("Constellations").
