The Farnsworth Invention at The Cloverdale Playhouse

It’s 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 most exciting new play on Broadway... a rousing theatrical experience.” – MTV News

"a firecracker of a play in a fittingly snap, crackle and pop production … the drama has among its many virtues the ability to make you think at the same time that it breaks your heart." – Hedy Weiss, Chicago Sun-Times

"vintage Sorkin and crackling prime-time theater . . . breezy and shrewd, smart-alecky and idealistic.” – Linda Winer, Newsday
