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.

<Synopsis>
In Copenhagen, 1941, amidst the Nazi terror that had seized all
Europeans... What is the truth of conversations between Bohr, Heisenberg,
and Margrethe under such harsh conditions that a concealed microphone
has been installed? Now that these three are dead, they attempt
to reproduce that day of mystery. Involvement in the production
of an atomic bomb, loyalty to the home country, humanism, the egotism
and pride of physicists... the play cuts to the depths of their
minds, and brings back their memories. However, like the Principle
of Complementarity and the Principle of Uncertainty in physics,
the more they talk, the more ambiguous their memories become. And
then, they approach the core of mystery but ... |
