Farm Hall (NHB Modern Plays)

Product Information

At the end of the Second World War, 10 German scientists were detained and transported to Farm Hall, a stately home in Cambridgeshire, where they lived for seven months. Some were part of Hitler’s notorious Uranium Club – nuclear physicists working towards breakthroughs in nuclear power. What the scientists didn’t know was that the house was bugged, with the Allied Forces hoping to find out how close the Germans had come to developing an atomic bomb. Basing her play on these transcripts, Moar focuses on six of the scientists, letting their clashing personalities rub together in the confines of the house.

It’s still a work in progress, he says, and “it keeps changing so often I wonder if it will ever reach its final state.” He began by narrowing the 10 captured German scientists, who called themselves the Uranium Club and included three Nobel Prize winners and one Nazi, down to 5: two theorists who were aristocratic and arrogant – and German physicists had arrogance nailed for all time – and two experimentalists who were middle-class and down-market and came much closer to figuring out the bomb; and poor Otto Hahn, who in 1939 had been interested only in pure research into why atoms were falling apart. Set in the summer of 1945 after the defeat of Germany but whilst the war in the Pacific rages on, six German nuclear scientists find themselves detained in a stately home near Cambridge: Farm Hall.
