The return of Copenhagen, whose production by the New National Theatre, Tokyo in 2001 was the theatrical sensation of that year, winning the Yomiuri Theater Awards for Best Play, Best Director, and Best Male Actor and the Kinokuniya Theatre Awards for Best Theater Company and Best Actor. Premiered in London in 1998, this work by British playwright Michael Frayn is based on a mysterious conversation that took place during World War II between the Nobel Prize-winning physicists Niels Bohr and Werner Heisenberg. While based in the historical realities of the race to develop the atomic bomb, it employs a sophisticated dramatic structure and bold imagination to probe the psychological depths of the two protagonists, making for a thrilling and intellectually exciting evening of theatre. This production welcomes Murai Kunio in the role of Bohr, who along with the rest of the highly professional cast and crew, should mount a production even more exciting than the first.
