lyrical language has a
luminous beauty, and her talent
for creating characters whose
complicated depths are just
visible on their surfaces is still
more remarkable.”

Rosalind Franklin was a British pioneer
in science in the early 1950s, yet her
groundbreaking role in the discovery
of DNA’s double helix structure is still
often overlooked. Based on a true story,
Photograph 51 presents an intriguing
portrait of a complex, courageous woman
• Drama • Historical
making her way in a male-dominated field.
While rival teams of researchers compete
for a breakthrough, Rosalind, focused and
unbending, is locked in a race of her own.
A hit in the West End, it was proclaimed
“A triumph” by The Telegraph.
Age 14 & up.
