Photograph 51 starring Nicole Kidman announces charity gala

It has been announced that the West End production of Photograph 51 by Anna Ziegler starring Nicole Kidman as as Rosalind Franklin will hold a charity gala performance on 19th November 2015.

The event will celebrate the partnership between the Michael Grandage Company and King’s College London. 

All proceeds from the evening’s performance will go to support the charitable work of the Cancer Centre at Guy's Hospital as part of the World questions King's answers campaign and the Michael Grandage Company's education work through its charity MGCfutures. 

It was at King’s College London that Franklin took Photograph 51, which lead to the discovery of DNA, and around which the play is based. During rehearsals, the company visited the King’s Archives where they were shown crucial objects to the discovery of DNA including the Philips micro camera used by Rosalind Franklin and Raymond Gosling, letters written between Maurice Wilkins, Francis Crick and Jim Watson, and the original slide of Photograph 51 itself.
