An 80-year-old former British code breaker at Bletchley Park attends a Remembrance Day service in England. She looks back on her life and the secrets about her work and identity that she has held for over 60 years because of the Official Secrets Act. Will she ever be truly known by her children? How will she be remembered? This riveting play was inspired by the story of the author's mother (as found in a box of letters and a diary after her death), her exhilarating experiences during WWII, and its searing impact on her postwar marriage and family life. Critic Simon Saltzman, president of the NY Outer Critics Circle, called it “...one of the most spellbinding and extraordinary true-life adventures I’ve ever witnessed.”
