Michael Frayn’s classic play “Copenhagen” focuses on the trip made in 1941 by Werner Heisenberg to see Niels Bohr. The two friends had revolutionised atomic physics in the 1920s, but the war had changed their relationship. By 1945 they would find themselves competing to be the first to develop a viable Atomic Bomb: Heisenberg for the Germans, and Bohr for the Allies. In this profound play Heisenberg meets Bohr and his wife Margrethe once again to work out, just as they had once worked out the internal functioning of the atom, how we can ever know why we do what we do. In partnership with Abingdon School. Supported by the Institute of Physics.
