Il primo amico e’, Michael Frayn l’autore di "Copenhagen", il play teatrale di successo dove si mette in scena l’incontro fra Heisenberg, il grande fisico al lavoro sull’atomica tedesca durante la seconda guerra mondiale, e Bohr, il suo amico e collega danese, uno dei fondatori della teoria quantistica e della nuova fisica del 900, nella Danimarca occupata dai nazisti. Marvelous booklet, I enjoyed it a lot, especially Burke’s part.Ĭ’e’ qualcosa di piu’ potenzialmente esplosivo di due amici che s’ingannano a vicenda? Probabilmente no, a meno che, come in questo bel libricino, i due amici si fermino poco prima del disastro.
When it was all over, David Burke and Michael Frayn sat down together, rather as Bohr and Heisenberg do in the play, to try to unravel the mystery, and like Bohr and Heisenberg, to confront once again the eternal difficulty of knowing why we do what we do. The gradual emergence of these papers was followed with particularly close interest by the actor, David Burke, who was playing Niels Bohr, and who had happened to have a wide experience of documents of this sort.
His intentions have intrigued and baffled historians, and the hitherto unpublished German documents which Celia Rhys-Evans now began to send Michael Frayn cast a remarkable new light on certain aspects of the story. The two old friends now found themselves on opposite sides in a world war, amd Heisenberg could not explain to Bohr that he was running the Nazi's secret atomic programme. The subject op Copenhagen is the strange visit that the German physicist, Werner Heisenberg, made to his former Danish colleague Niels Bohr in 1941. They turn out to mark the start of a long and winding trail. She enclosed a few faded pages of barely legible German which she thought might have some relevance to the mystery at the play's heart.
One day during the run of Michael Frayn's play Copenhagen, a curious letter arrived from a housewife in Chiswick. A gift from Joris J, who was apparently cleaning out his, or Meike's personal library.
