Avg. Event Rating (4.5 Stars): Add Review/Comment

Eccentric genius Alan Turing was known for breaking the complex German code called Enigma, thus enabling allied forces to foresee German maneuvers, an endeavor that led to victory in World War II. In this tragic and moving story of one of the world's most brilliant mathematicians and father of the first computer, Turing is illuminated as a man with many secrets, a man who broke more than one code and paid for it with his life.

    So I certainly wasn't expecting the story I saw. Far more humorous and personal than dramatic and technical. Although I do wish there had been a bit more about the actual WORK Turing did, and the second half felt long compared to the first, I liked the chemisty of Turing, Pat, dillwyn and Christopher/Nikos. Some very strong acting, a complex, well thoughtout staging, and some of the best sound design I have heard locally makes for a unique piece of intimate theatre. Collapse
