COPENHAGEN
By Michael Frayn | ||
Tony and London Evening Standard Award-winning BEST PLAY! THE RUNNING TIME OF COPENHAGEN IS APPROXIMATELY 2 HOURS AND 20 MINUTES In 1941, the German physicist Werner Heisenberg made a mysterious visit to Copenhagen to see his former teacher and colleague, Niels Bohr. They were old friends and their work together had opened the way toward nuclear fission. But now they were on opposite sides in a world war and the race to build the atomic bomb was on. Scientists and historians have argued ever since about why Heisenberg made his visit, and what the two men said. SUBTLE TECHNOLOGIES invites you to a special panel discussion immediately following the 2PM matinee performance of SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 8. COPENHAGEN has captivated audiences in London and New York and has been hailed as one of the greatest dramas of the century. The eagerly awaited Toronto premiere reunites the extraordinary director and cast of the acclaimed Ottawa and Halifax productions to bring us an unforgettable theatre experience. David and Ed Mirvish present the National Arts Centre (Ottawa)/Neptune Theatre (Halifax) co-production, starring Michael Ball, Martha Henry and Jim Mezon and directed by Diana Leblanc. |
