Set against the backdrop of World War II, this drama explores the tense meeting between physicists Werner Heisenberg and Niels Bohr, who once collaborated to revolutionize atomic science. Now on opposing sides, their encounter raises profound questions about morality, responsibility, and the consequences of scientific discovery. Premiering at the Royal National Theatre and later winning a Tony Award for Best Play, the work delves into the complexities of human choices during a time of conflict.
