Copenhagen Tickets

Tickets are now on sale for Copenhagen at the Hampstead Theatre, opening on 27th March 2026. This award-winning drama explores a mystery that has plagued historians for years. It's 1941, in the middle of World War II, and the great German physicist Werner Heisenberg is visiting his Danish counterpart Niels Bohr and his wife Margrethe in Copenhagen. Once old friends, their collaboration in the 1920s brought them closer to uncovering the mysteries at the heart of the atom. But now, with Denmark under Nazi occupation, their meeting is fraught with danger and Heisenberg is burdened with a terrible secret. Why did he go to Copenhagen and what did they talk about?

Michael Frayn's powerful, whip-smart historical drama receives its first London revival since its 1998 National Theatre premiere, in this blazing new production by Michael Longhurst (Between Riverside and Crazy, Caroline or Change, Gloria). It will star Alex Kingston (ER, Doctor Who) as Margrethe, Damien Molony (Being Human, Brassic) as Heisenberg and Richard Schiff (The West Wing, The Good Doctor) as Bohr. Praised by the New York times as 'the most invigorating and ingenious play of ideas in many a year and a work of art that humanizes physics in a way no other has done', Copenhagen brings a fresh and thrilling take on a historical mystery that's sure to leave you fascinated.

Don't miss this thought-provoking modern classic where a scientific quest for truth meets a searing exploration of humanity.
