The instant I saw the photograph my mouth fell open and my pulse began to race.
Does Rosalind Franklin know how precious her photograph is? In the race to unlock the secret of life it could be the one to hold the key. With rival scientists looking everywhere for the answer, who will be first to see it and more importantly, understand it?
Anna Ziegler’s extraordinary play looks at the woman who cracked DNA and asks what is sacrificed in the pursuit of science, love and a place in history.
Campbell Moore will play Maurice Wilkins, a scientist who worked with Franklin (Kidman) in her research.
Stephen Campbell Moore’s theatre credits include Chimerica (Almeida Theatre/Harold Pinter Theatre), Berenice (Donmar Warehouse), Clybourne Park (Royal Court), All My Sons (Apollo Theatre) and The History Boys (National Theatre). His screen work includes The Wrong Mans, Hunted, Lark Rise to Candleford, Ashes to Ashes and Hustle (TV); Complicit, A Short Stay in Switzerland, Sea Wolf, The History Boys and Bright Young Things (film).
Directed by Michael Grandage, Photograph 51 marks the return of Grandage’s company to the West End, following acclaimed runs in 2013 and 2014 that saw Jude Law play the title role in Henry V and Daniel Radcliffe appear in The Cripple of Inishmaan.
