What did our critic think of BREAKING THE CODE at Central Square Theater?

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. 

The full cast has been announced for a brand new production of Hugh Whitemore's acclaimed play Breaking the Code. The play follows mastermind Alan Turing's career as a visionary mathematician and codebreaker.

Country traditionalist Jake Worthington unleashes an all-new steel-soaked, down-on-your-luck duet “Hello Shitty Day”, featuring fellow Texan, Miranda Lambert.

Hugh Whitemore's BREAKING THE CODE, directed by Ed Cohen, will open at Falcon Theatre, Newport, KY. Learn more about the show and see how to purchase tickets!

Flatland Cavalry's fan-favorite song, “A Life Where We Work Out,” featuring Kaitlin Butts has been certified RIAA Gold, their first RIAA certification. In celebration of the milestone, the band was surprised with a plaque during their sold-out headline debut at Nashville's historic Ryman Auditorium this past Saturday. 

A new acoustic performance video for Flatland Cavalry's song, “A Thousand Miles An Hour,” has debuted. Produced by Dwight A. Baker (Josh Abbott Band, Pat Green), the album is a collection of country anthems and thoughtful ballads that further elevate the band's signature musicianship and vivid storytelling. 

'Tis the season to be jolly...and there's no better way to make the holidays lit than RICK MONROE & THE HITMEN's 180-proof single 'Moonshine Man,' a swampy anthem to the legendary bootleggers of Kentucky and eastern Tennessee. Watch the video now!

While much of Alan Turing’s work was the subject of the Official Secrets Act, his personal life was not afforded the same anonymity and details of his sexuality overshadowed his achievements for many years.  Hugh Whitemore’s BREAKING THE CODE seeks to balance the scales of the awareness of Turing achievements along with the outdated laws on homosexuality that saw the father of computer science convicted and subjected to hormone therapy which eventually broke him, physically and mentally.
