Farm Hall Playtext
byĀ Katherine Moar
'It was never about the Reich or the war. It was about physics.'
The scientists' tranquil summer is shattered by the inconceivable news that the Americans have succeeded where the Germans have failed: the United States has not only built an atomic bomb, but they have used one against Japan.
Summer 1945. Hitler is dead, but the war in the Pacific rages on. When six of Germany's top nuclear scientists ā including three Nobel Prize winners ā are detained by Allied forces at a stately home in the Cambridgeshire countryside, they find themselves shut off from the outside world. Their only distractions are board games, a broken piano and a copy ofĀ Blithe Spirit. But as the months go by, their attention turns to the ongoing war and thoughts of their broken homeland.
