This compassionate play gives the story of Alan Turing, who broke the German Enigma code during World War II.  He was awarded the OBE by Winston Churchill in recognition of his contribution to shortening the war. Alan Turing appears in every scene in this play. He is supported by beautifully written characters, each of which could rehearse separately.
