In 1941 the German physicist Werner Heisenberg visited his Danish counterpart, Niels Bohr, an old friend and colleague in Copenhagen; they had revolutionised atomic physics in the 1920s. But now the world had changed, and the two men were on opposite sides in a world war. The meeting was fraught with danger and embarrassment, and ended in disaster. Why Heisenberg went to Copenhagen and what he wanted to say to Bohr are questions which have exercised historians ever since. In Frayn's play Heisenberg meets Bohr and his wife once again to work out how we can ever know why we do what we do.
