Science brought two men together; politics divides them. German nuclear physicist Werner Heisenberg visits his former mentor, scientist Niels Bohr, in Nazi-occupied Copenhagen and they engage in a secret conversation – or quarrel. Michael Frayn re-imagines that mysterious meeting in Copenhagen, and leaves us to ponder how one can stay true to science, family and friends, one’s country and one’s God when at the forefront of discovery.
There will be a nightly pre-show talk at 30 minutes prior to curtain.
