Prospect’s winter play, “The Electric Man,” was shown last Thursday, Friday and Saturday. “The Electric Man” is about the life of inventor and electrical engineer Nikola Tesla.
“He’s a very interesting individual,” Meyers said. “The more I learned about him, the more fascinating I found him to be, and the more I looked at his life, the more I saw that it was filled with interesting characters, dramatic situations and the sort of themes that make for good drama, quite frankly. I didn’t change a lot to make it fit on the stage.”
Some of the famous characters included in “The Electric Man” include J.P. Morgan, Thomas Edison, James Westinghouse and Mark Twain. Getting all those characters on stage requires a large cast, with some members playing multiple roles.
