About this listen
How different would the world have looked had the Nazis been the first to build an atomic bomb? Werner Heisenberg, one of Hitler's lead nuclear scientists, famously and mysteriously met in Copenhagen with his colleague and mentor, Niels Bohr, one of the founders of the Manhattan Project. Michael Frayn's Tony Award-winning drama imagines their reunion. Joined by Niels' wife, Margrethe, these three brilliant minds converge for an encounter of atomic proportions.
Recorded in Los Angeles before a live audience at the UCLA James Bridges Theater in November 2011.
Copenhagen is part of L.A. Theatre Works’ Relativity Series featuring science-themed plays. Lead funding for the Relativity Series is provided by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, bridging science and the arts in the modern world.

Somewhat experimental but interesting
Any additional comments?
This small play has an experimental feel. Not only is it a hypothetical view of historic conversations between theoretical physicists but the characters are revisiting their lives from the grave and repeating the main scene with different interpretations. As a piece of experimental theatre I am not convinced it is a great success but as an intelligent and well written historical perspective it is worth listening to, especially for someone like me who likes physics.

Boring
2022 52 Book Challenge; March Mini Challenge 1) A Character Who Works In Maths Or Science
This is a bit of a marmite play, and unfortunately I come down on the side of I didn't really like it. It was slow and boring, and the maths and science were so boring, especially when you have no idea what it means.
