She Found the Code. They Took the Glory.
It’s 1951, and the race is on to unlock the secret of life. At its centre is Rosalind Franklin, a brilliant young scientist whose pioneering work captured the image that would lead to the discovery of DNA’s double helix—transforming science forever. Yet her contribution was nearly forgotten.
Anna Ziegler’s acclaimed, West End-hit play shines a light on an unsung scientist and the fierce ambition, sexism, and sacrifice behind one of the greatest discoveries of the 20th century.
Who gets to write history—and who gets left out?
