This compassionate play is the story of Alan Turing; mathematician and father of computer science.

Whitemores 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.
