The Farnsworth Invention - Play, Drama

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?

Tony Award-nominee Hank Azaria (Spamalot, The Simpsons) stars as David Sarnoff, and Jimmi Simpson (The Rainmaker) stars as Philo T. Farnsworth in The Farnsworth Invention, a new American play written by Emmy Award-winner Aaron Sorkin (A Few Good Men, The West Wing) and directed by Des McAnuff (Jersey Boys).
