In 1879, Thomas Edison successfully created the first practical incandescent bulb. He was about to light up New York and the entire world, using his Direct Current electrical system. Along came a lesser-known inventor named Nikola Tesla who would go on to prove the superiority of Alternating Current over Edison’s Direct Current. A battle ensued, ambitions and aspirations clashed. What drove these great minds to achieve the impossible, and what must they learn to give up in order to truly benefit the world?
Inspired by historical events, Electrify My World by Nine Years Theatre is a power-charged, original play that will jolt you into seeing Science and Humanity in a new light.
This original production is co-presented by Singapore Chinese Cultural Centre and Nine Years Theatre.
