From Philadelphia, USA’s vibrant theatre scene comes Edison, a new play being produced as part of the International Youth Arts Festival. This genre-bent, spiritually invigorating play explores the American dream, the American immigrant, and a box of Cracker Jacks. Hypnotic factory foreman, Thomas Edison, puppeteers the employees of the Edison company in chronicling the life of “the man who invented the 20th century,” Nikola Tesla. Meanwhile, the bitter feud between Edison and Tesla bubbles up at the water cooler and culminates in one of the biggest stand offs in scientific history. Join our assembly line and experience the fire and brimstone of a scientific revolution for the ages. 11 July at 16:00 and 12 July at 19:30 at the Arthur Cotterell Theatre Main House, Kingston Hall Road, Kingston upon Thames KT1 2AQ. Tickets cost between £9.50 and £6.50 and can be purchased through EdisonIsALie.com or iyafestival.org.uk.
