Copenhagen
Copenhagen | Michael Frayn
5 posts | 7 read | 3 to read
The Tony Awardwinning play that soars at the intersection of science and art, Copenhagen is an explosive re-imagining of the mysterious wartime meeting between two Nobel laureates to discuss the atomic bomb. In 1941 the German physicist Werner Heisenberg made a clandestine trip to Copenhagen to see his Danish counterpart and friend Niels Bohr. Their work together on quantum mechanics and the uncertainty principle had revolutionized atomic physics. But now the world had changed and the two men were on opposite sides in a world war. Why Heisenberg went to Copenhagen and what he wanted to say to Bohr are questions that have vexed historians ever since. In Michael Frayns ambitious, fiercely intelligent, and daring new play Heisenberg and Bohr meet once again to discuss the intricacies of physics and to ponder the metaphysicalthe very essence of human motivation. From the Trade Paperback edition.

#1 for July 22‘ finished. What better way to kick off Independence weekend than reading about atomic bombs 💣💥 This is a 2-act play with a postscript detailing the real-life history of the subject & people in the play. At least I can say I read it. 📚📚📚

I am not a scientist but I enjoy reading about science. This version is a LA Theatre Works audio production of the play. Very well done! And I know a little more about this period in history and science.

We have stayed away from super touristy places, but this was one stop we knew we had to see. It's just as cute and vibrant as everyone says it is! Still, we only stayed for about two minutes 😜.

Lindy Lovely. 😊 7y
Audrey So pretty. Is Copenhagen where the little mermaid statue is located? 7y
Audrey Home of Hans Christian Anderson? 7y
BooksForEmpathy @Audrey Yep! The Little Mermaid is a little further from where this photo was taken! 7y

Hand-cut veal tartare showered with fresh raspberry powder at our first dinner in Copenhagen. This city is clearly delicious 😋. And so stunning. Get ready for some epic food pics, Litsy!
