Sorkin's THE FARNSWORTH INVENTION Previews 6/5, Opens 6/10 At Alley Theater

From the creator of "The West Wing"- Aaron Sorkin's extraordinary, ambitious new play about the birth of television: THE FARNSWORTH INVENTION, by Aaron Sorkin.

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. Strong Language.
