If you're planning to attend the Garage Theatre's latest production, Pink Milk, a surreal performance of dance and dreamlike narration about the life of Alan Turing, you should be, at the very least, somewhat familiar of the famous mathematician's story. Winston Churchill said Turing was the person most singurlarly responsible for defeating the Nazis in WWII (his code-cracking skills were on the beyond-brilliant scale). But then in 1952, he was arrested and tortured for being homosexual (at the time, it was a crime punishable by jail or chemical castration). The title refers to Turning's childhood friend that died from consuming dairy contaminated with bovine tuberculosis, a tragedy Turing never recovered from. It's a tragically whimsical tale of one of last century's greatest minds—and the emotional struggles that tormented him throughout his all-too-short life.
