Farm Hall will run at the Theatre Royal Haymarket from 7-31 August.
Written by playwright Katherine Moar and directed by Stephen Unwin, the play dramatises the true story recorded inside the bugged walls of Farm Hall between July 1945 and January 1946. Six of Germany's top nuclear scientists are detained at a stately home in the Cambridge countryside, with only reduced newspapers, a broken piano and a copy of Blithe Spirit to pass the time. However when the news arrives from across the globe that rocks Farm Hall to its core, the residents of Farm Hall have no idea that their every word is overheard.
The superb ensemble cast bringing this extraordinary true story to life includes David Yelland (The Crown), who plays the role of Max Von Laue; Alan Cox (Say My Name) plays the role of Werner Heisenberg. Carl Friedrich von Weizsäcker is played by Daniel Boyd (On Chesil Beach); Forbes Masson (EastEnders), plays the role of Otto Hahn Julius D’Silva (The Crown), plays the role of Kurt Diebner; Archie Backhouse appears as Erich Bagge. An associate artist with Complicité, his recent stage credits include Strategic Love Play with Paines Plough and The Wonderful World of Dissocia at Stratford East.
