In the play, it is to Margrethe that the two men direct their discussion. Although she did not have a science education like her husband, she typed all his research papers and was a strong sounding board for his theories. She was, in real life, an intelligent woman and a supporter of her husband. Margrethe Bohr is another character in this play. But what happened to Heisenberg? Did he deliberately confound the Nazi efforts to create a similar weapon? Or did he attempt to create it but fail? Frayn leaves these overarching questions for the audience to ponder. Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. forces and he was instrumental in the creation of the atomic bombs that were dropped on the Both scientists were capable of figuring out how to create an atomic bomb. It does, however, provide a lot of background information about these two powerful thinkers and the struggles they must have encountered in their attempt to honor their friendship during extremely turbulent, even life-threatening, circumstances. The play does not provide a clear answer to the question of what took place during that meeting. All that was publicly known was that after the meeting, Bohr would have nothing to do with Heisenberg. Bohr's house was wiretapped, so when Heisenberg appeared at Bohr's doorstep, the two men took a walk so that no one could record their conversation. The meeting took place while Denmark was occupied by the Nazis.
Heisenberg was a German Bohr was a Jew who was residing in Copenhagen, Denmark. The two scientists had collaborated and brought forth the basic tenets that would become the foundation of quantum physics. Copenhagen, winner of the 2000 Tony Award for best play, attempts to answer the question that has been on the minds of many quantum physicists and historians from World War II: What actually took place in a secret meeting between Niels Bohr, who is considered the father of quantum physics, and Werner Heisenberg, who was working on, but failed to create, the atomic bomb for Nazi Germany? The meeting took place in 1941.
