Directed by Andy Sandberg and produced by Ellen Berman, Operation Epsilon is the true story of Germany’s ten foremost nuclear scientists who were rounded up and held captive in England by the British and American forces toward the end of World War II, as the Manhattan Project forged ahead in America.

The show is inspired by actual transcripts that were secretly recorded and then held classified for many decades, and explores the ethical complexity of scientific discovery, and its potential for catastrophic consequences.

The creative team for the show also includes Set Designer Janie Howland; Costume Designer Beth Colley; Lighting Designer Clancy Flynn; and Sound Designer Chris Drohan; with Original Music by Dewey Dellay; and Casting by Lucy Casson CDG.
