A stage play based on the true story of six of Germany's top nuclear scientists, detained at a stately home in the Cambridge countryside in the summer of 1945, with no idea that their every word is being overheard.

'A riveting drama that unravels like an intelligent thriller whose ending we know but is nail-biting nonetheless.. packed with learning but never shows off... a punchy, accomplished play'

* Guardian *

'A thoroughly absorbing series of vignettes'

* The Times *

'Riveting... a writer to watch'

* Daily Mail *

'Complex and fascinating'

* The Stage *

'A surprising black comedy with a provocative philosophical background... Moar explores [the characters'] remorse - or lack thereof - with subtle humour... beautifully written with a sophisticated use of language... an excellent debut: interesting, well-written, thought-provoking, and sheds light on a slice of history that's rarely discussed'

* Broadway World *

'Like a Nobel Prize-heavy version of Celebrity Big Brother'

* Reviews Hub *

'Gripping... With its mix of moral dilemmas and possible revelations, it feels like the real thing'

* British Theatre Guide *

'Excellent... a captivating dramatic thriller based on a fascinating true story'

* Everything Theatre *

* Sunday Times *
