Play reading of “Copenhagen” by Michael Frayn

A play reading of Michael Frayn’s play “Copenhagen” by the Teatre de la Incertesa theatre company. The play describes the meeting in Copenhagen, during the Second World War, between the Danish physicist Niels Bohr and the German Werner Heisenberg, often associated with the Nazi regime. The great mystery of the meeting is whether Heisenberg was simply looking for an exchange of scientific ideas or whether he wanted help in the development of arms projects. Michael Frayn reconstrues a possible theory of what happened in 1941 in Copenhagen.
