Photograph 51 - Tickets, News, Info & More

Directed by FROST/NIXON's Michael Grandage, PHOTOGRAPH 51 opened to rave reviews last fall in London, where Nicole Kidman played Dr. Rosalind Franklin, one of science's more remarkable women.

Dr Franklin left post-war Paris for the altogether grimmer post-war London, to undertake research with Dr Maurice Wilkins of King's College. Despite their less than harmonious nature working relationship, Franklin and Wilkins - along with the assistance of James Watson and Dr Don Caspar - made significant progress in the field of genetics, learning about the structure of DNA and ultimately enabling countless medical discoveries.
