Heisenberg on Heisenberg

Email ThisBlogThis!Share to TwitterShare to Facebook
Werner Heisenberg's son Jochen sent a letter to the ART about their production of Copenhagen:

Political events over the last five years have altered the audience's
appreciation of concepts of personal responsibility in times of war, of patriotism of distortion for political ends, and this receptvithas (sic) madey allowed a sympathetic connection to Heisenberg's motivation for all kinds of decisions he . Not only did the actor himself, John Kuntz, admirably convey vulnerability, deference, kindness and resolve, (more than brash arrogance borne out of ambition which tends to be one of the stereotypes out there) but Scott Zigler capitalized on the Zeitgeist most appropriately.
