We all know the names ‘Bletchley’ and ‘Alan Turing’, if only thanks to the 2014 film The Imitation Game starring Benedict Cumberbatch. Hugh Whitemore’s Breaking the Code follows a similar trajectory, documenting Turing’s journey from school boy to death in a collection of non-chronological scenes. Through Whitemore’s play we are able to gain an insight into the life of this character, piecing together his genius and his struggles slowly into a complete understanding.
