This compassionate play is the story of Alan Turing, mathematician
and father of computer science. Turing broke the code in two ways:
he cracked the German Enigma code during World War II (for which he
was decorated by Churchill) and also shattered the English code of
sexual discretion with his homosexuality (for which he was arrested
on a charge of gross indecency). Whitemore's play, shifting back
and forth in time, seeks to find a connection between the two
events. When first performed in the 1980s, Breaking the Code was
critically acclaimed in the UK before a Broadway transfer won it a
raft of awards & nominations including 3 Tony Awards, and 2
Drama Desk awards.
