Copenhagen at Theater J

In his Tony-winning play Copenhagen, Michael Frayn re-imagines the 1941 meeting of famed physicists Niels Bohr and Werner Heisenberg, an event that has been subject to much historical speculation. No one knows exactly what these two men -- one a Nobel Prize-winner, the other his esteemed mentor -- discussed. What did Heisenberg believe should be done about atomic bombs? What did he want from Bohr? The spirits of the two men and Bohr's wife, Margrethe, meet after death to attempt to answer the original question: Why did Heisenberg come to Copenhagen? This modern drama is a meditation on friendship and moral responsibility that's intellectually dazzling and deeply moving. Take a journey through the realm of science and beyond, embarking from Theater J at the Edlavitch DCJCC.
