Copenhagen

By Michael Frayn

Directed by Robert Crighton

In 1941 two men meet across the divide of war. Both are scientists, both working on particle physics and both working towards the creation of a nuclear bomb. The meeting place, Copenhagen in Nazi occupied Denmark. The men, Niels Bohr, a Dane and Werner Heisenberg, a German. Two old friends, now enemies, whose only connection is science, a science that could destroy the world.

What did these two men say to each other?  Michael Frayn's play puts them back in Copenhagen, forces them to face their legacy and the questions they never answered in life.
