Operation Epsilon

Operation Epsilon OPERATION EPSILON
A New Play by Alan Brody
Directed by Andy Sandberg
March 7-April 28, 2013 It’s the close of World War II – the dawn of the atomic age.

The Allies have captured Germany’s top ten nuclear scientists and sequestered them at Farm Hall – a lavish estate in England – keeping them under surveillance to learn what they know about the American nuclear program and to gauge how close the N***s were to making an atomic bomb. Nine of these men, including Nobel Prize winners Otto Hahn and Werner Heisenberg, are known as Hitler’s “Uranium Club.

” Based on actual transcripts of secretly recorded conversations, playwright Alan Brody and director Andy Sandberg illuminate the ethical complexity of pursuing scientific discovery at the risk of wreaking catastrophic consequences. Central Square Theater / March 7 to April 28, 2013

A nice review/feature from the MIT Tech!

It’s the close of World War II. The British and Americans have imprisoned Germany’s top ten nuclear scientists in a lavish English estate, Farm Hall. Every room in the house, from the piano room to the parlor, is bugged. The Allies listen to the scientists’ conversations to determine how close Nazi…

Another blog review in for Operation Epsilon!

Are those who merely stand and watch as guilty as those who drop the bombs, pull the triggers, or run the trains? The question is no less relevant today than more than sixty years ago.

Another RAVE REVIEW in Boston!

Where were you when you heard the United States had dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima on Aug. 6, 1945? What did you think and feel when you heard the news? Surely, these were questions many people must have asked each other after being completely stunned by that day. Of all the people one might wa...

A rave in The Boston Globe!!!

What makes Alan Brody’s “Operation Epsilon,’’ now at the Nora Theatre Company, so engrossing is that even the 10 German scientists at its center can’t agree on the real truth of their motives. Were they merely disinterested scientists, conducting research for a “uranium machine’’ that would produce…
