Summary

 Benedict Cumberbatch, Greta Scacchi and Simon Russell Beale star in Michael Frayn's award-winning play about the controversial 1941 meeting between physicists Bohr and Heisenberg. Copenhagen, Autumn 1941. The two presiding geniuses of quantum physics, Niels Bohr and Werner Heisenberg meet for the first time since the breakout of war. Danish physicist Bohr and his wife, Margrethe, live in Nazi-occupied Denmark; their visitor, Heisenberg, is German, the two old friends, now on opposing sides have between them the ability to change the course of history. Frayn's Tony award-winning play imagines the three characters re-drafting the events of 1941 in an attempt to make sense of them. With Greta Scacchi as Margrethe Bohr, Simon Russell Beale as Niels Bohr and Benedict Cumberbatch as Werner Heisenberg. This new version of Copenhagen is adapted for radio and directed by Emma Harding. Drama & Plays Entertainment & Performing Arts European World Literature Denmark War

I can highly recommend this stunning rendition of Michael Frayn’s masterpiece. I’ve read the play a couple of times but the skilful adaptation and strong performances bring it to life. Deep, moving and complex, as great theatre should be.

Simply a masterpiece. Audiobook reviews have to have a minimum 15 words, but "masterpiece" covers it in one.
