It's 1929. Two ambitious visionaries race against each other to invent a device called "television." Separated by 2000 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? The answer comes to compelling life in this new play from Aaron Sorkin (The West Wing, A Few Good Men).

"...vintage Sorkin and crackling prime-time theatre... breezy and shrewd, smart-alecky and idealistic." – Newsday

"...the drama has among its many virtues the ability to make you think at the same time that it breaks your heart." – Chicago Sun-Times

"The most exciting new play on Broadway... a rousing theatrical experience." – MTV News
