Photo Flash: First Look at 1st Stage's THE FARNSWORTH INVENTION
In his return to playwriting, celebrated film and television writer Aaron Sorkin's signature style lends itself to the remarkable story of the invention that changed our lives. 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.

The answer comes to compelling life in the regional premiere of this "firecracker of a play" (The Chicago Sun-Times).
