On Thursday, October 1 at 7:00 pm. in The Hubbard Room at Russell Library,
123 Broad Street, Middletown, Reader's Theater will present their first play of this
season, Copenhagen, written by
Michael Frayn. The play is set in an undisclosed location, with no mention of
sets, props, costume, or scenic design. In fact, the play does not offer a
single stage direction – leaving the action completely up to the director. The
audience learns early on that all three characters (Heisenberg, Bohr, and
Bohr’s wife Margrethe) have been dead for years. With their lives now over,
their spirits turn to the past to try to make sense of the 1941 meeting. During
their discussion, the talkative spirits touch upon other moments in their lives
– skiing trips and boating accidents, laboratory experiments and long walks
with friends. Reader’s Theater is live drama enacted by
professional actors, directed by Richard B. Kamins.
No registration; Reader’s Theater
productions are funded by The Friends of the Russell Library.
