Chalice Theatre presents the Tony-award winning play Copenhagen, by Michael Frayn, Nov 6-15, 2026, at UUCA, 4444 Arlington Blvd. In Autumn 1941, Niels Bohr and Werner Heisenberg, the two presiding geniuses of quantum physics, 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 potential to change the course of history. Frayn’s play imagines the three characters re-drafting the events of 1941 in an attempt to make sense of what happened. Run time: 2hr 30min with one intermission. Free discussion panels exploring questions raised by the play accompany the Sunday matinees.
