Mr. Tesla Played (and electrified the world)

"Mr Tesla Played" is an intimate monologue about Nikola Tesla - the visionary inventor whose ideas shaped modern life, from electricity to wireless communication.
In a New York hotel room in his final days, Tesla reflects on his legacy and the cost of his genius.
A moving portrait of the man behind the myth - far more than a name on a car.
Written by: Tanja Mastilo
