Synopsis:



The
Farnsworth Invention
is a fast paced historical drama about the invention of television.
It ultimately pits Russian emigrant, David Sarnoff (the founder of
NBC and Chairman of RCA) against the hayseed, Western genius
visionary, Philo T. Farnsworth, the inventor of most of the elements
for television. Sorkin’s play is the dramatization of the lives of
Farnsworth – the unknown scientist versus the visionary
communications genius – David Sarnoff who launched commercial radio
and TV. One of the most exciting plays recently on Broadway and a
regional premiere, Aaron Sorkin (The
Social Network,
The
West Wing
and A
Few Good Men)
loves stories about powerful visionaries.
