Adds an interesting dimension to the play CopenhagenBy AliceThis delightful book should be required reading for anyone who has seen or read Michael Frayns play "Copenhagen." The actor David Burke (who starred in the play) and playwright Frayn describe their reactions to a baffling set of German papers that seem to have been written during Werner Heisenbergs stay at a British estate after World War II. Although I am not going to give away the truth as it unfolds in this story (the editorial reviews above do that). I will say that the point of the book is not so much whether the papers were geniune or a hoax as it is the depths to which talented. bright. curious people such as Frayn and Burke will go as they wrestle with fascinating ideas. These two men bring to vivid life the dramas behind the dramas.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. A fascinating piece of a larger puzzle!By A readerI loved this book because I happened to read it within the contexts of Mr. Frayns other contemporaneous work. Heres what I suggest for an utterly intriguing run of books: read Frayns Copenhagen. Headlong. The Copenhagen Papers. and Spies in that order. I suppose his most recent book of philosophy The Human Touch would top it off conceptually. But the four works preceding are one multi-faceted puzzle. Loved them all... together!!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. A real twist -- must be read after the play Copenhagen by Michael FraynBy M.E.AndersonAnything more said would be a spoiler. But if you enjoyed the play Copenhagen and were fascinated by the real history questions it opens. this is the most delicious dessert you could have after it.
