Sparks of Genius

In 1900, Nikola Tesla and Thomas Edison were the two most famous inventors in the U.S. Only a few short years later, Tesla was a forgotten man, a casualty of the ruthless machinations of American big business practices. Told against the backdrop of New York society at the beginning of this century, this is the epic story of Nikola Tesla, an extraordinary man who held the keys to fame, fortune, love and limitless power, and sacrificed them all in the pursuit of his dreams. Told on a grand scale, Tesla’s life blends retro sci-fi with a true story that defies belief, based on two years research with the cooperation of the curator of the Tesla Museum in Belgrade.

Duling’s plays have been produced throughout the United States. Most recently, “Monstrosity” received staged readings at the Skylight Theatre in Los Angeles as part of the Inkubator reading series by the Katselas Theatre Company. Before that, “Monstrosity” also received a staged reading at Innovation Theatre Works in Bend, Oregon. The search for theatres interested in producing “Monstrosity” continues in earnest in Los Angeles, Chicago and New York.
