"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.

Believe It Or Not… 7 West End Shows Inspired By Real Events
Sometimes, the unlikeliest of events can be the inspiration for a phenomenon. Who would have thought, for instance, that a show based on an unsuccessful two-day uprising in France, not even the big revolution everyone’s heard of, would turn into the world’s longest-running musical?
There’s something a bit special about shows based on true stories, I think. They bring history to life in a way no textbook ever could, by putting a human face on events we might otherwise know little or nothing about. (I’ve successfully answered more than one pub quiz question about Vietnam thanks to Miss Saigon.) So, here are seven shows that are currently booking in the West End, all based on real events.
