Last night Emily and I went with her friend Elizabeth to see Copenhagen at the Wilshire Theater. The play was fantastic, and our seats were pretty great considering the price. We sat in the gallery, which was actually on stage, just above and behind the actors. It felt like we were in the play, experiencing the conversations, rather than observing them from afar. Anyway, reviewers all talked about how the physics was difficult and dry, but I actually felt at times like the author spent too much time trying to explain all the science, and it felt repetitive. That’s a pretty minor complaint, and overall it was a wonderful production about the intersection of science, politics, and ethics.
