<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:.0001pt;"><span style="font-family:Arial, 'sans-serif';">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 treasured
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>
