About Copenhagen by Michael Frayn
During World War Two the German physicist Werner Heisenberg made a trip to Copenhagen to see his Danish counterpart, Niels Bohr. They were old friends and close colleagues, and they had revolutionised atomic physics in the 1920s with their work together on quantum mechanics and the uncertainty principle. Since then the world had changed, and the two men were on opposite sides in a world war. The meeting was fraught with danger and embarrassment and ended in disaster. Why Heisenberg went to Copenhagen and what he said to Bohr are questions which have vexed historians ever since. In Frayn’s play we meet Heisenberg, Bohr and his wife Margrethe to look for these answers and to work out, just as they had done with the internal functioning of the atom, how we can ever know why we do what we do.
