Their work together on quantum mechanics and the uncertainty principle had  revolutionized atomic physics.  But now the world had changed and the two men were  on opposite sides in a world war.  Why Heisenberg went to Copenhagen and what he  wanted to say to Bohr are questions that have vexed historians ever since. In Michael  Frayn’s ambitious, fiercely intelligent, and daring new play Heisenberg and Bohr  meet once again to discuss the intricacies of physics and to ponder the metaphysical—the  very essence of human motivation.“Endlessly fascinating….
