Farm Hall is a must-see for history buffs, theatre enthusiasts, and anyone intrigued by the moral conundrums of war and scientific discovery. Offering a distinctive look into the lives of six captive German scientists during World War II, the play recounts a gripping narrative of seclusion, disbelief, and existential crisis. The allure of the production lies in its sophisticated storytelling by debutant writer Katherine Moar, and intricate character development. It also addresses the dramatic tension that arises from the dichotomy of the scientists' secluded world and the global war. It might interest you to know that BBC previously adapted the story of Farm Hall for a Horizon drama-documentary titled "Hitler's Bomb." Farm Hall play tickets are your pass to witness this compelling narrative unfold on stage.
Storyline
In the summer of 1945, at Farm Hall, a stately home outside Cambridge, six of Germany's top nuclear scientists find themselves detained by the Allies after Hitler's demise. Cut off from the outside world, they pass time with censored newspapers, a broken piano, and Noël Coward's "Blithe Spirit". Their seclusion is shattered when they discover America's successful creation of an atomic bomb and Germany's defeat. Unbeknownst to them, every word is being secretly recorded as Farm Hall is bugged. This compelling narrative is your cue to secure tickets for the Farm Hall play.
