Copenhagen, a Tony Award winning play by Michael Frayn

The Next Stage Theater Company presents Copenhagen, a Tony Award winning play by Michael Frayn. Copenhagen explores the possible conversations and outcomes from a real meeting between Niels Bohr and Werner Heisenberg in 1941 during the German occupation of Denmark. In historically-based but unrecorded conversations, the two men discuss the role of scientists during conflict, the nature of nuclear energy, the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics, and the race to produce the first atomic bomb. It is a play of memory, of imagination, and most of all the uncertainty surrounding this meeting of two human quantum particles as they moved through the atom of the city of Copenhagen.

“Endlessly fascinating. The most invigorating and ingenious play of ideas in many a year.… An electrifying work of art.” -Ben Brantley, The New York Times
