Why this story?
Why Now?
Alan Turing & the Queen of the Night is a queer fantasy, a defiant, shameless celebration of a great man and the woman he idolized.
Witness a gay icon reimagined. Our version of Alan Turing throws off his well-mannered, nerdy persona. Instead, we honor his defiant soul -- and the eccentric woman who taught him to live in a cruel world.
Mixing Turing’s gripping life story with the enchanting world of Mozart’s The Magic Flute, our show invites you to a night at the opera and asks what lengths you’d go to recover lost love?

As a boy, Alan Turing falls for his fellow boarding-school student, Christopher Morcom. In a cruel twist of fate, Christopher dies before the two can profess their love. Turing writes a letter of condolence to Christopher’s mother, and Mrs. Morcom soon invites Alan to her home. So begins a life-long friendship, where at many junctures Turing looks to the strange, whimsical woman for advice.
However, Turing’s fascination with Mrs. Morcom grows beyond the confines of reality. Deluded by grief and inspired by her unshakable passion, Turing begins to conflate Morcom with a figure of similar prowess: The Queen of the Night from Mozart’s The Magic Flute. Lead by the glorious queen of his own mind’s invention, Turing embarks on a transformative journey through the opera’s enchanting world.
Years later, in our less than-enchanting-world, Alan struggles to crack the Nazis’ Enigma Code. Facing impossible odds, he recalls the Queen and her unwavering persistence. Inspired, Turing creates a trial-and-error machine that can work without rest - the very first computer. But what worth is all his genius, if it cannot reunite him with his lost love?
