The man, the Enigma, the ‘enemy of the state’
Breaking The Code, Hugh Whitemore’s play about a man widely considered the father of modern computing, is at the theatre from Monday February 24 until Saturday March 1.
Openly gay at a time when homosexuality remained illegal in Britain, his behaviour was tolerated and Churchill gave him every resource needed to crack the code. But once the war was over, the system callously turned on Turing , branding him a security risk.
