A staggering hour long historic monologue from incomparable Fringe fave Jem Rolls digs deep into the cloak and dagger Manhattan Project, and dares to question the pros and cons of revealing atom bomb secrets to Joe Stalin’s great menace. Eloquently British, Jem over enunciates his carefully sculpted words that are part documentary, part prose. The story of Ted Hall is a grand one, and somehow lost in the shuffle among the great war era scientists dictating a future we are still dealing with. Quite good this. Come for the lecture, but don’t forget to enjoy the ride.
