For Release on January 7, 2010 or Thereafter
NoirDame.com is pleased to present the world premiere of Tesla vs. The United States, released online on Thursday, January 7, 2010 -- the anniversary of the passing of brilliant and eccentric inventor, Nikola Tesla.
Tesla is the central figure in this radio drama - and a central figure in the development of radio - famed for his innovations and inventions, including a legendary, rumored "death ray". The drama takes place in 1943, shortly after Tesla's death, and provides a fascinating, historical mix of business intrigue, time travel and suspense. Who really invented radio? What ghostly figure influenced Tesla in his last days? And why did the FBI take away so many of Tesla's papers?
"Tesla vs. The United States" was written by playwright Charles Moster, whose plays have been carried over National Public Radio (NPR) and public radio affiliates nationwide, and features the talented cast and crew of Deus Ex Machina, an Austin, Texas-based drama troupe.
