Tesla: A Radio Play for the Stage tells the story of Nikola Tesla, a brilliant but controversial inventor and futurist during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Tesla's volatile relationship with Thomas Edison, his allegiance with George Westinghouse, and his confrontations with the power brokers of American business are recounted from the perspective of the possible implications of his work on national security. The play is staged as a radio drama featuring live sound effects and a small cast of renowned actors who portray close to 50 different characters while chronicling Tesla's life.

This event is a part of the Opening Doors event series at Caltech.
