The Play=20
COPENHAGEN is based on an event in recent history that is still shrouded in=20

aid=20
a visit to the home of his teacher and mentor Niels Bohr. Both men were=20
theoretical physicists. Heisenberg was in charge of the Nazi atomic weapons=20
program. After the war, no agreement was ever reached as to what the two men=
=20
discussed at that meeting.
The play attempts to creatively reconstruct, not only what was=20
said at the meeting, but what were the motivations of the participants. The=20
third character in the play is Margrethe Bohr, Niels=E2=80=99 wife and colle=
ague.
In the course of the play, not only is the 1941 meeting=20
reenacted, but much of the history of nuclear physics in the first half of t=
he 20th=20
century is discussed, as well as the fate of Denmark=E2=80=99s Jewish popula=

he=20
international scientific community as well as the personal triumphs and trag=
edies of=20
the families involved.
