This gripping, Tony Award-winning drama reveals the tempestuous relationship between two brilliant scientists who held the fate of the world in their hands in 1941: physicists Niels Bohr and Werner Heisenberg. Once friends and colleagues, these two leaders in the burgeoning field of nuclear physics found themselves on different sides of World War II. Who would win the race to develop the first atomic bomb? The Allies or Germany? This play explores the life and death decisions made by both men as they look back on the choices they made and the consequences of these actions.
