Power and Light at Theatre 40 at The Reuben Cordova Theatre

Stage Raw - Somewhat Recommended

"...The show’s ambitious scope is perhaps its greatest stumbling block. Because it endeavors to cover such a large swath of history, it feels more like a cursory overview than an in-depth character study. We catch glimpses of the flaws and complexities of these men – for example, a line about Tesla’s support of eugenics and Edison’s frequent xenophobic remarks. But these elements are presented so matter-of-factly that the play never forms a clear point of view on either of its main characters. At times, it feels as though the audience is being shown the highlights of a Wikipedia article."
