Event Series Burning Coal Theatre Company: “Copenhagen” by Michael Frayn

Burning Coal Theatre Company: “Copenhagen” by Michael Frayn

Murphey School Auditorium 224 Polk Street, Raleigh, NC, United States

COPENHAGEN is a three-person play that provides a fictional account of the meeting between physicists Werner Heisenberg and Niels Bohr at Bohr’s home in Copenhagen in 1941 during the throes of World War II. Heisenberg and Bohr, accompanied by Bohr’s wife Margrethe, revisit their personal and professional entanglements throughout decades of war, turmoil, and scientific advancement. The trio reenacts and simultaneously analyzes their infamous gathering, weaving in and out of various points in their shared past. For Heisenberg and Bohr, the question will always remain: what will come of the decisions we made? October 10th - 27th, 2024; Thursdays through Saturdays at 7:30pm, and Sundays at 2:00pm All tickets are $30, or $25 for seniors (65+) or $20 (students, teachers, active military).

A provocative, physical, and innovative piece grounded in science, ballistic movement, and the ethical and physical consequences of violence and perpetual war, it is intended to encourage meaningful conversations about violence in its many forms as an accepted and often celebrated component of our society. Battleground will be performed outdoors in a 30×25 feet dirt pit.
