Niels Bohr and Werner Heisenberg, two of the twentieth century’s greatest physicists, were once close friends working together to unlock the secrets of the atom.
Then the world went to war and they found themselves on opposite sides.
It’s 1941. Heisenberg, now a leading figure in Germany’s atomic research programme, is visiting Nazi-occupied Copenhagen to meet his former mentor, Bohr, and wife, Margrethe.
That fateful evening has sparked one of the greatest mysteries of the Second World War: Why did Heisenberg come?
Directed and designed by Robert Chevara, Michael Frayn’s multi-award-winning Copenhagen is a gripping human drama about friendship, duty, and the choices that can change the world.
