The man who has broken the code. Sir Derek as Alan Turing. One of his most expressive portrayal. Emotionally intense. This series of portraits is a perfect reflection of that. Turing should have been a hero of his time. He was finally a victim of Intolerance. He has contributed to save mankind. And mankind has betrayed him. What Derek did here is more than an artistic performance. It is also a personal tribute to a great man.

Derek as Alan Turing in Breaking the Code on stage. His performance has largely contributed to give Turing the recognition that he deserved as a man and as a mathematician. He has saved mankind during the war but mankind has betrayed him. Thanks to Derek’s work we remember that Turing was a hero and also a victim of his time (many thanks to my dear friend Tanja Dubelloy)

Some rare images of Sir Derek on stage in Breaking The Code at the London’s Theatre Royal In 1987. In addition, an interesting interview is included. His performance in the TV movie remains my favorite. I would have liked a lot seeing him on stage In the same part.
