Burning Coal Theatre Company: “Copenhagen” by Michael Frayn
Murphey School Auditorium 224 Polk Street, Raleigh, NC, United StatesCOPENHAGEN 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.
