Alan Turing wasn't a child when Disney's SNOW WHITE came out. He was 25. I haven't seen either the play or the film, I confess. Laura

Very true. Turing sees the film as an adult upon his arrival to work at Bletchey. He finds the ending in which Sleeping Beauty after eating the poisoned apple awakes in the arms of a handsome prince to be sentimental but nonetheless touching. Additionally the play does not paint Turing as being particularly promiscuous as another poster has suggested nor Ron as a sex worker but rather as a thief who uses his sex appeal to his advantage. It was a very different and more difficult time for homosexuals to live either monogamously or openly.
