Shownotes Transcript

As World War 2 raged in Europe, Werner Heisenberg - head of the budding German nuclear program - met with his former mentor Niels Bohr, the brilliant physicist who opposed the Nazis.

While we don’t know for sure what went on, we can thank the brilliant playwright Michael Frayn for this powerful speculation about their meeting, with Bohr’s wife Margrethe joining them to guide us through their memories of the encounter. Copenhagen by Michael Frayn. Starring Alfred Molina as Niels Bohr, David Krumholtz as Werner Heisenberg, and Shannon Cochran as Margrethe Bohr. Directed by Martin Jarvis.

L.A. Theatre Works' Relativity Series is presented with the generous support of the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, bridging science and the arts in the modern world.
