Ray TempestaHOST
So who wants to feel this next one, really? I mean, I guess what I'm looking for is an explanation of what makes the story one worth telling.

Jez PikeGUEST
So people might be familiar with Alan Turing from the film, possibly, The Enigma Code, which is, I guess, about a decade old, and starred Benedict Cumberbatch.

Jez PikeGUEST
uh in the second world war which is where their kind of code breaking center was and their ability to break the u-boat codes which was done by a machine that the germans invented called the enigma basically kept britain in the war and and then and then enabled enable Britain to eventually succeed.

Jez PikeGUEST
And then his life after that continued to be very cutting edge in terms of mathematics and he was involved in building the first digital computer at Manchester University.

Jez PikeGUEST
and then has this complex personal life, which the film kind of covers and the play kind of covers.
