Copenhagen

In 1941, Werner Heisenberg, the leading scientist in Nazi Germany’s nuclear fission program, made a clandestine trip to visit his long-time friend, the brilliant Danish physicist, Niels Bohr. The reason for Heisenberg’s visit and what the two men discussed have been a matter of intrigue and speculation for decades. Michael Frayn, the writer of the drama, poses one possbile scenario that asks, “Just because you can do something, does it mean you should?” Time pushes the discussion and the future becomes history.
