      Interesting. I only wish that Frayn went further into the interplay of the character dynamics, i.e. the degree to which each physicist knew (or thought) he knew what made the other one tick. Maybe "Copenhagen" simply does not lend itself to that kind of character analysis, but I have a feeling that it does.
