Copenhagen, a Tony Award-winning play, explores the intersection of science and art. Set during World War II, the play re-imagines the mysterious meeting between two Nobel laureates, German physicist Werner Heisenberg and his Danish counterpart Niels Bohr.
Heisenberg secretly traveled to Copenhagen in 1941 to meet with Bohr, with whom he had collaborated on quantum mechanics and the uncertainty principle, revolutionizing atomic physics. However, the war had changed the world, and the former colleagues found themselves on opposing sides.
The reason behind Heisenberg's visit and what he intended to tell Bohr have puzzled historians for years. In Michael Frayn's ambitious, fiercely intelligent, and daring play, the two scientists meet once again to delve into the intricate details of physics and the metaphysical elements of human motivation.
