<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;">Convergence-continuum presents a strange tale of

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt;">On his last night on this planet, tormented genius
Tesla wrestles, within the universe of his gigantic brain, with the friends and
detractors in his life – Edison, Einstein, Twain, Westinghouse, and Anna, his
only true love (other than a cherished pigeon). Despite his breakthrough
inventions (alternating current, fluorescent bulbs, lasers, robotics, wireless
power and even a death ray), the eccentric inventor has fallen into obscurity.
But tonight he’s ready to challenge his critics before riding his beloved
electric currents into the Great Beyond.</span></p><p></p>
