Copenhagen by Michael Frayn

A real historical mystery; an exploration of friendship and memory; a voyage into the components of the atom. Michael Frayn’s Copenhagen is many things as it sets out to investigate the secret wartime meeting between Werner Heisenberg and Niels Bohr – two atomic scientists who found themselves on separate sides of the conflict, with the looming potential of an atomic bomb.

Michael Frayn’s wonderful, award-winning play explores themes of war, guilt and human motivations. The two men meet again in an after-life, under the critical eye of Margrethe Bohr, and try to reach some understanding of the past.

Taking up the challenge of directing this play is Susan Bilbey, whose 2004 production of Breaking the Code won the Best Play award from the Gloucestershire Drama Association.
