Directed by Rebecca Riches
This thrilling new rock musical, shines a light on the forgotten genius, Leo Szilard, and his involvement in the WWII Manhattan Project – a research and development undertaking that created the world’s first nuclear weapons.
A massive collaboration of over 100,000 people: America’s brightest academics, European scientists seeking refuge, US Government and Military involvement, thousands of factory workers, all working in secret.
Szilard was successful in unlocking the secret to atomic power, but his attempts to stop the bombs were hidden until recent history, his story shows how one man can truly change the world.
