Breaking the Code

The life of Alan Turing

A gripping drama based on the life of Alan Turing, a British mathematician and codebreaker who played a key role in cracking the German Enigma code during World War II. Directed by Jasper Landman, Breaking the Code explores Turing's personal life and his struggle to come to terms with his homosexuality in a society that was deeply intolerant of it. The play depicts Turing's difficulties with his sexuality, his pioneering work in computer science, and his eventual tragic death. 

As Turing's achievements are celebrated, his personal life is scrutinized by the authorities, and he is eventually prosecuted for homosexuality. The play examines the devastating consequences of this injustice on Turing's life and career, and on the world of science and technology as a whole. Breaking the Code is a moving and thought-provoking tribute to a man who changed the course of history but paid a heavy price for being true to himself.
