See Breaking the Code at Falcon Theatre from March 15 to 30.
In this exceptional biographical drama about a man who broke too many codes, Derek Jacobi took London and Broadway by storm. The eccentric genius Alan Turing played a major role in winning World War II by breaking the complex German code called Enigma, enabling Allied forces to foresee German maneuvers. Since his work was classified as top secret for years after the war, no one knew how much was owed to him when he was put on trial for breaking another code, the taboo against homosexuality.
Turing, who was also the first to conceive of computers, was convicted of the criminal act of homosexuality and sentenced to undergo hormone treatments, which left him physically and mentally debilitated. He died a suicide, forgotten and alone. This play is about who he was, what happened to him, and why.
