CONVERGENCE-CONTINUUM PRESENTS THE WORLD PREMIERE OF

THE CHASTE GENIUS AND HIS DEATHRAY GUN

 BY CHRISTOPHER JOHNSTON

OPENING FRIDAY, DECEMBER 1

Convergence-continuum presents a strange tale of the freaky inventor Nicola Tesla in the world premiere of THE CHASTE GENIUS AND HIS DEATHRAY GUN by Cleveland playwright Christopher Johnston.

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.

The Chase Genius and His Deathray Gun is directed by convergence-continuum director Geoffrey Hoffman. The cast features actors Robert Hawkes (as Nicola Tesla), Rob Branch, Nicole McLaughlin-Lublin and Val Kozlenko.

The Chaste Genius and His Deathray Gun opens Fri, Dec 1 and runs Thu-Sat at 8 pm through Dec 16 at the Liminis Theater, 2438 Scranton Rd, Cleveland 44113 in the historic Tremont neighborhood.  Fri & Sat tickets are $20 general admission, $15 seniors (65+), $10 students; Thurs discount tickets are $15, $12 and $8.
