Copenhagen

The 2000 Tony Award for Best Play centered around the meeting of two great minds in a fraught geopolitical moment and what might have happened at that meeting.

Story:

In 1941, German physicist Werner Heisenberg went to Copenhagen to see his Danish counterpart, Niels Bohr. Together they had revolutionized atomic science in the 1920s, but now they were on opposite sides of a world war.
