Alan Turing’s brilliant contribution to the breaking of the Nazi’s codes was one of the greatest achievements of the Second World War. His sheer passion for pushing back the boundaries of knowledge promised even greater success. But his personal life transgressed the rigid moral code of the times, and intolerance led to tragedy. Hugh Whitemore’s award-winning play explored the inspirations and relationships of this complex genius who laid the foundations of modern computing. Moving freely in time and location it presents a vivid picture of a revolutionary thinker brought down by his disregard of convention. Oxford Theatre Guild continues its tradition of staging bold and powerful theatre, returning to this newly renovated venue as part of the Theatre at the Old Fire Station’s opening season.
