	Jesper Juul: Time To Play
		The relationship between play time and event time is, as we shall see, highly variable between games and game genres: action games tend to proceed in real time, but strategy and simulation games often feature sped-up time or even the possibility of manually speeding or slowing the game.
		Since the play time is mapped onto the event time, pausing the play time should also pause the event time, bringing the game world to a standstill.
		In the play perspective, computer games have several unique traits, one being that play works by projecting actual objects into a fictive plane (such as saying, "This mouse is a spaceship.") A common problem when playing is that the real objects do not have the properties to simulate what they are supposed to represent, i.e.

	An Introduction to Michael Frayn's Copenhagen (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Plays written about Winston Churchill, for example, during the lifetime of the members of the general public in England who had lived through World War II could simply not avoid being challenged on the basis of people's own lived experiences which the plays contradicted, omitted, or changed.
		One of the great attractions of this play (particularly in performance) is the way it conveys the genuine excitement of modern scientific enquiry—carried out in a spirit of intense rivalry but also fuelled by love, respect, and a sense of adventurous seeking after the truth of things, without the slightest thought of any practical consequences.
		As the final line of the play states, we are governed by "that final core of uncertainty at the heart of things." The uncertainty arises from the muddled, dark origins of human conduct (the Elsinore of the spirit) and from the way in which we can overdetermine any human moment.

	"Copenhagen" Play Portrays Bohr and Heisenberg
		It is not often that a play comes along that is based on solid research in the history of science.
		Michael Frayn’s play “Copenhagen,” based on the uncertainties surrounding the 1941 meeting between physicists Niels Bohr and Werner Heisenberg in German-occupied Copenhagen, is such a play.
		In the same spirit, the opening of “Copenhagen” in New York City precipitated a day-long series of workshops on March 27 organized by The American Physical Society and co-sponsored by the Friends of the AIP Center for History of Physics.

		Since 1994, she has worked for the city of Copenhagen covering project development, policy making and public consultation in relation to roads and parks, urban design and planning.
		Standardisation is dangerous because play becomes simplified and the child does not have to worry about his movements.
		When designing play spaces for children there are one thing apart from economics, which is essential and that is genius loci, the spirit of the place, in other words the qualities and the atmosphere already present.

	Copenhagen (play) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Copenhagen is a play by Michael Frayn, based around an event that occurred in Copenhagen in 1941, a meeting between the physicists Niels Bohr and Werner Heisenberg.
		The play was adapted as a television movie in 2002, with Daniel Craig as Heisenberg, Stephen Rea as Niels Bohr, and Francesca Annis as Margrethe Bohr.
		After the play inspired numerous scholarly and media debates over the 1941 meeting, the Niels Bohr Archive in Copenhagen released to the public all heretofore sealed documents related to the meeting, a move intended mostly to settle historical arguments over what they contained.

	Copenhagen: a new play by Michael Frayn - Science, politics and morality
		The play explores a number of issues: the possible motives for this visit, whether it could have taken a different course, and if so, whether this might have produced a different outcome to the World War, since it is known that Heisenberg broached the subject of the work being done to produce an atomic bomb.
		The play is not so much about the science itself, however, as it is about how scientific ideas can help us to understand the manifold possibilities the future holds, and how history consists of a constant transformation from this indeterminate future, through the present to a single past.
		Copenhagen interpretation: In 1928, Bohr combined Heisenberg's particle theory with Schrodinger's wave theory by means of the theory of complementarity.

	Daniel Traister's Home Page--John Lukacs on Michael Frayn, Copenhagen
		"Copenhagen" is not the first example of sensitive writers being attracted to the deeper moral implications of the acts and ideas of physicists in the 20th century, as in the play, "The Physicists" by the Swiss Friedrich Duerrenmatt.
		Of the three protagonists it is her portrait in "Copenhagen" that may come closest to how she may have thought in September 1941, but an exaggeration of her role in the play is well within the artistic province of Frayn's composition.
		In the play Margrethe accuses Heisenberg of failing to understand their situation under a German occupation; of being willing to work for Hitler; of working on a German nuclear reactor that could be employed for the construction of a bomb; of trying to show off.

		But in his Tony Award-winning play Copenhagen, Michael Frayn shows us that these men were passionate, philosophical, and all too human, even though one of the three historical figures in his drama, Werner Heisenberg, was the head of the Nazis' effort to develop a nuclear weapon.
		The play's other two characters, the Danish physicist Niels Bohr and his wife, Margrethe, are involved with Heisenberg in an after-death analysis of an actual meeting that has long puzzled historians.
		This isn't the first play to successfully merge the worlds of science and theater (one is inevitably reminded of Tom Stoppard's Arcadia and Hapgood), but it's certainly one of the most dramatically successful.

		And most of all, it is much harder to concentrate on a play when you are in your room and know you have an incredible amount of work to do for class.
		The play attempts to recreate a meeting of two famous, Jewish physicists, Bohr (Philip Bosco) and Heisenberg (Michael Cumpsty), during World War II in Copenhagen.
		By merely listening to the play rather than experiencing it on a stage, a lot is missed.

		Most viewers of this extraordinary play believe that it doesn't answer the question of why Werner Heisenberg came to Copenhagen in 1941 to visit his mentor Niels Bohr.
		It appeared from the fall of the cards that it was extremely unlikely that Bohr had made a straight that would win the pot, and yet he kept on betting until all the others threw in, and then when he showed his hand, he had no straight.
		I found the play brilliant, moving, and ultimately cathartic as all great plays should be.

		The play itself is brilliant (see my review of the PBS production directed by Howard Davies, starring Stephen Rea, Daniel Craig, and Francesca Annis available on DVD) and is the kind of play that can be fully appreciated simply by reading it.
		A photo from the cover suggests how the play might be staged on a round table with the three characters, Danish physicist Niels Bohr, his wife Margrethe, and German physicist Werner Heisenberg, going slowly round and round as in an atom.
		Frayn's play was the most actively thought-provoking work I'd read in quite a while, and it is a masterful piece of witing.

		Marti Maraden says, "Copenhagen is a brilliantly crafted piece of theatre - one that engages not only heart and soul, but mind and intellect in the most gripping of ways - This superb play has attracted the extraordinary talents of Director Diana Leblanc and actors Martha Henry and Jim Mezon.
		Copenhagen is Michael Frayn's brilliant dramatization of an actual secret meeting that took place at the height of World War II in Nazi-occupied Denmark, between the Danish scientist Niels Bohr, and his former student and colleague, the German scientist Werner Heisenberg.
		Although the play has initiated intense international debate on a 50-year old controversy in the science community, it is not a play only for scientists.

		Copenhagen, the 2000 Tony award winner for Best Play, is a searching meditation on quantum theory and the ethics of atomic research, mind-boggling topics even to academics in the field.
		But if one play clicks, it can produce an enormous payoff in communicating science to the public and inspiring other artists to tackle similar themes.
		Frayn constructed Copenhagen around both literal and figurative interpretations of the Uncertainty Principle, a physical rule that limits the precision of measurement in the subatomic world.

		This play gathers its power mostly near the end as certain principles of quantum mechanics, particularly the ability of an atomic particle to act like both matter and wave, clarify these relationships.
		Frayn's postscript lends context to the play, and I recommend not skipping it since this is an intellectual play about an intellectual topic.

	Copenhagen, a CurtainUp review
		Frayn's play is their equally complex friendship and the motivation behind their mysterious wartime meeting and its termination of the relationship that began almost twenty years earlier.
		Blair Brown, last seen as the red-haired, voluptuous Gretta Conroy in James Joyce's The Dead (our review) is equally impressive as the plain looking and keen-minded Margrethe Bohr who acts as commentator and buffer as her husband his erstwhile protege re-live three versions of their encounter.
		The seminar on The Making of Copenhagen which took place at the City University Graduate Center before the play's opening showed that scientists are still puzzled about why Heisenberg sought out Bohr in 1941 and what happened when they met.

	Copenhagen (play review)
		Peter Frayn’s play Copenhagen, recently returned to the stage in America, speculates on what might have transpired during a meeting between Nobel laureates Niels Bohr and Werner Heisenberg in Copenhagen in September 1941, at the height of the German advance into Russia and just three months before America’s entry into the war.
		The action of the play encompasses the initial meeting of the two physicists in Copenhagen in 1941, another encounter in 1947, and finally an imagined meeting that takes place after all three characters have died.
		The main reason for Heisenberg’s visit to Copenhagen in 1941 appears to have been his hope that Bohr in the West, and he in Germany, would be able to discourage work on a bomb.

		The idea for Copenhagen came to me out of my interest in philosophy.
		It was when I read a remarkable book called Heisenberg's War by Thomas Powers, that I came across the story of Werner Heisenberg's visit to Niels Bohr in 1941.
		I wanted to suggest with Copenhagen that there is some kind of parallel between the indeterminacy of human thinking, and the indeterminacy that Heisenberg introduced into physics with his famous Uncertainty Principle.
