Power & Light dramatizes the titanic clash of genius between Thomas Edison and Nikola Tesla as they battle to electrify the world. It is an astonishing journey to the heights and depths of human ingenuity; a sometimes delirious odyssey of inspiration and invention. From Edison’s perfection of electric light, to Tesla’s revolutionary wireless energy, came the amazing world we live in today and visions for a future yet undreamed.
The world premiere of John Strysik’s Power and Light is currently running in rep at Theatre 40. Jeff G. Rack directs this story of Thomas Edison and Nikola Tesla in the beginnings of electricity with the cast of David Hunt Stafford, Eric Keitel, Warren Davis, John Combs, Richard Large, Bailey Castle, Mandy Fason and Kurtis Bedford. Jeff graciously made time out of his multi-tasking weekend to answer a few of my queries.
