The ghosts who have taken up residence with The Production Company are a restless lot, filled with a crackling, questing vitality rarely found even among the living. As embodied with disquieting fierceness by Sara Lilly, David Ross Paterson, and Skip Pipo in COPENHAGEN, this endlessly fascinating play by Michael Frayn is directed with surgical exactitude by August Viveirto to a fever pitch. These spectral presences just won't stop haunting one another with their questions and revisions and caveats. Give them the courtesy of your full attention, and you'll find them taking possession of your own imagination as well, probably raising your blood pressure in the process. They prove themselves electrifying companions.

COPENHAGEN, a critical and popular smash when it opened in Londonat the Royal National Theater in 1998 and on Broadway in 2000, is about a meeting in 1941 between the venerable Danish physicist Niels Bohr and Werner Heisenberg, his former pupil, now head of the Nazi Nuclear program. What was said or, equally important, not said takes on increased significance when you consider the possible stakes. There's tension aplenty in this drama, which allows Heisenberg, Bohr and Bohr's wife, Margrethe, to reunite after their deaths to sort out what may or may not have happened on that September evening.

The play opens on Friday, April 23rd, 20108 PM3 PM12443 Chandler Blvd, North Hollywood, CA 91607

TICKETS: $25. at www.theprodco.com or 1-800-838-3006
