VEX THEATRE COMPANY ANNOUNCES FALL PRODUCTION OF "COPENHAGEN" BY MICHAEL FRAYN

Elgin, IL - Vex Theatre Company announces their fall production of the Tony Award-winning play "Copenhagen" by Michael Frayn. It will be presented September 16-25, Fridays and Saturdays at 8:00pm and Sundays at 3:00pm, at the Elgin Art Showcase, 164 Division Street, Elgin, IL.

A Gripping Tale Based on Real Events

"Copenhagen" is an intense drama that 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.

"Copenhagen" will be presented:
Fridays through Sundays, September 16-25, 2011
At the Elgin Art Showcase, 164 Division Street, Elgin, IL.
Fridays and Saturdays at 8:00pm and Sundays at 3:00pm. Tickets are $15; $12 for students and seniors.
Reservations may be made online at www.vextheatre.org or by calling 847-991-8081.

"Copenhagen" is directed by Michael Albrow (Naperville), a physicist at Fermilab, and stars Steve Blount (Wheaton) as "Niels Bohr," Susan Able Barry (Carol Stream) as "Margrethe Bohr," and Geoffrey Maher (Arlington Heights) as "Werner Heisenberg."
