Copenhagen

Michael Frayn’s Copenhagen is the controversial play about Hitler’s bomb-maker. On a fateful evening in 1941, German physicist Werner Heisenberg visits the home of Danish physicist Niels Bohr in occupied Denmark. Issues of personal responsibility and negligence are examined as the two men discuss the possibility of building an atomic bomb. The show nabbed the Tony Award for Best Play in 2000, and Town Hall’s production marks its Bay Area’s regional premiere.
