Abstract

“Why did he (Heisenberg) come to Copenhagen?†This is the starting dialogue of the play. Then they (Niels Bohr, his wife Margrethe Bohr and Heisenberg) spend the remainder part of the two act play presenting, debating and rejecting theories that may answer the first question of Mrs. Bohr. Yes, this is a story of a play named ‘Copenhagen’ by Michael Frayn. It is based around an event that occurred in Copenhagen (capital of Denmark) in 1941, a meeting between two physicists Niels Bohr and Werner Heisenberg. Before giving the real news let us give some historical background.
