The Nora Theatre Company Announces Casting for The World Premiere of OPERATION EPSILON

The Nora Theatre Company has announced the complete cast for its March 2013 production of the World Premiere of Alan Brody's Operation Epsilon to be directed by Andy Sandberg.

The cast of Operation Epsilon includes many actors who have never performed with The Nora Theatre Company before. The cast (in alphabetical order) includes Barlow Adamson (Major Rittner), Diego Arciniegas (Werner Heisenberg), Ken Baltin (Max Von Laue), Owen Doyle (Kurt Diebner), Kendall Hodder (Erich Bagge), John Kooi (Karl Wirtz), Will Lyman (Otto Hahn), Ross MacDonald (Horst Korsching), Allan Mayo (Paul Harteck), and Dan Whelton (Friederich Von Weizsacker).

It's the close of World War II - the dawn of the atomic age. The Allies have captured Germany's top ten nuclear scientists and sequestered them at Farm Hall - a lavish estate in England - keeping them under surveillance to learn what they know about the American nuclear program and to gauge how close the Nazis were to making an atomic bomb. Nine of these men, including Nobel Prize winners Otto Hahn and Werner Heisenberg, are known as Hitler's "Uranium Club." Based on actual transcripts of secretly recorded conversations, playwright Alan Brody illuminates the ethical complexity of pursuing scientific discovery at the risk of wreaking catastrophic consequences. Performances begin on Thursday, March 7, with the press opening on Sunday, March 17 at 2PM, and run through Sunday, April 28, 2013.
