People behind the production
Photograph 51 is a gripping biographical drama by Anna Ziegler that delves into the life of chemist Rosalind Franklin and the pivotal discovery of the DNA double helix. Since its West End premiere at the Noel Coward Theatre in London (September–November 2015), featuring Nicole Kidman in the lead role, the play has captivated audiences with its sharp dialogue, forensic storytelling, and historical context. The production in London was brought to life by the Michael Grandage Company and has since enjoyed Off-Broadway and Australian stagings, earning critical acclaim and industry awards.
