Copenhagen

One of the big British theatre hits of the ’90s – and probably the venerable British dramatic Michael Frayn’s most successful play – Copenhagan depicts a meeting in the afterlife between the Danish physicist Niels Bohr and his protégé, the German Werner Heisenberg. The subject matter is a real life, wildly speculated upon meeting the pair had in Nazi-occupied Copenhagen in 1941, where they discussed the ethics of making an atomic bomb. West Wing star Richard Schiff will play Bohr and Alex Kingston his wife Margrethe in Michael Longhurst’s first ever UK revival.
