What is OPERATION EPSILON about?

OPERATION EPSILON tells the true story of Germany's ten foremost nuclear scientists who were rounded up and held captive in England by the British and American forces toward the end of World War II, as the Manhattan Project forged ahead in America.

The play is inspired by actual transcripts that were secretly recorded and then held classified for many decades. It shines a shine on the ethical complexity of scientific discovery and the catastrophic consequences that have the potential to happen.
