Summer is usually a time for more light-hearted plays in area theaters, but Little Grey Hat productions is going against the grain with the area premiere of Michael Frayn’s Tony Award-winning “Copenhagen,” about the relationship between two of the world’s greatest atomic scientists.
Heiko Knipfelberg is directing the production that features Dylan Jones as Werner Heisenberg, David Yamin as Niels Bohr and Caroline Cox as Bohr’s wife, Margrethe.
The three characters meet in a sort of afterlife where their spirits deal with the results of a meeting between the two physicists in 1941 and whether it had anything to do with the Nazis’ failed efforts to build an atomic bomb.
The play is a joint venture between Jones' Little Grey Hat productions and the Manatee Performing Arts Center.
