UNA-USA Dane County Events

The play is sponsored by the Friends of Chernobyl Center US to support Community Centers located in areas of Ukraine that remain contaminated 25 years after the 1986 accident at the Chernobyl nuclear accident. FOCCUS was founded by Norma Berkowitz, the 2010 UNA Dane County Global Citizen of the Year. All proceeds from the play will support the Community Centers.

The play, by playwright Michael Frayn, features two physicists who meet in Copenhagen in 1941, where, among other things, they debate the ethics of the atomic bomb and nuclear energy use. The theme of the play is fitting to FOCCUS, which provides support to five Community Centers that are located in areas of Ukraine that remain contaminated 25 years after the 1986 accident at the Chernobyl nuclear reactor. "Copenhagen" won the Tony award for the best play in 2000.”
