Synopsis
Near the beginning of World War I, the great German physicist Werner Heisenberg paid a visit to an old friend and mentor, Niels Bohr, who lived in Copenhagen, hoping to get information from Bohr that would help him to build the nuclear bomb he was working on for Hitler. Since Bohr was part-Jewish and was working for the Allies, the meeting took on ominous and strained tones, as Michael Frayn's Drama Desk Award-winning play shows. The play premiered in London, where it won the 1998 Evening Standard and Critics' Circle Awards for best play.

Industry Reviews
"The 20th century has seen at least two remarkable plays that drew their inspiration from the world of science...but none has achieved the brilliance of COPENHAGEN in rendering the technical discussion of scientific ideas dramatically convincing and, at the same time, accessible to scientists and nonscientists alike."
Rose

"The play is rational, probing, intellectually relentless. It takes us right to that raw uncomfortable place at the heart of our human survival against demons like fission and demons like Hitler. It also shows science in all its splendor, science as pure as human reason, science breathtakingly beautiful, the way it was before we knew that scientific discoveries could lead to vile acts, that gas chambers and A-bombs were just as much the fruit of science as antibiotics and black hole theory. We sit in the theater admiring, wondering--as the very same science that we now know is tainted by our human souls, corrupted by our incurable affinity for evil, struts its stuff stunningly on the stage."
