Aaron Sorkin’s extraordinary, ambitious new play about the creation of television
The Farnsworth Invention
By Aaron Sorkin
Directed by David Cromer
Hubbard Stage
June 5 though June 28, 2009
In 1929, two ambitious visionaries race against each other to invent a device called “television.” Separated by two thousand miles, each knows that if he stops working, even for a moment, the other will gain the edge. Who will unlock the key to the greatest innovation of the 20th century: the ruthless media mogul, or the self-taught Idaho farm boy? The answer comes to compelling life in The Farnsworth Invention, the new play from Aaron Sorkin, creator of The West Wing. Recommended for mature audiences.
