Nikola Tesla Bobblehead with Glow-in-the-Dark Light Bulb(About 8 inches tall)

Nikola Tesla was a brilliant scientist whose discoveries and inventions in the field of alternating current electricity advanced the United States and the rest of the world into the modern industrial era. Many of the new technologies in the world today are based on Tesla's ideas. Tesla's discoveries and inventions include the Tesla coil, fluorescent light, wireless transmission of electrical energy, radio, remote control, alternating current, the induction motor, rotating magnetic field, cosmic radio waves and the use of the ionosphere for scientific purposes.  He has been called "The genius who lit the world".

A rainy evening in the East Village welcomed the opening night of the new off-Broadway play, TESLA. All that was missing were bolts of lightning, which would have been appropriate given that Nikola Tesla was born at midnight during a thunder storm. Inside the theater the electricity was as vibrant as the topic of the show. Not a seat was to be found in the packed theater – not even standing room was left available. They were not to be disappointed.

For much of the play there are actually two Nikola Teslas onstage. Jack Dimich plays the older Tesla living out the end of his life in the Hotel New Yorker, ruminating over his inability to offer a particle beam to stop Hitler’s assaults on Yugoslavia. As Tesla chats with bellhop Luka (played by Luka Mijatovic), whom he has enlisted to feed his pigeons, he is joined by his younger self, who relives the glory days of invention. Young Tesla, played enthusiastically by James Lee Taylor, stars throughout as he meets his idol (and then rival) Thomas Edison, cavorts with Mark Twain, sees his dreams come true with the backing of George Westinghouse, and then those dreams dashed by J.P. Morgan.

Alessandro Colla gives spirited performances both as Westinghouse and Twain. Adam Pagdon brings to life J.P. Morgan in a way that makes you both respect and despise the man who financed, then rejected, Tesla’s Wardenclyffe plans. Tom Cappadona is simply stellar as Thomas Edison, the self-made businessman whose investment in direct current leads him to encourage the electrocution of puppies and people to show the dangers of Tesla’s alternating current. Samantha Slater does double duty playing Katherine Johnson, the wife of Tesla’s friend and supporter Robert Underwood Johnson, as well as Mary, Edison’s enthusiastically social-climbing wife.

A Play Based on the Life of Nikola Tesla
The life of the extraordinary scientist, Nikola Tesla, may not be as well known to individuals as Thomas Edison; but should be considering the things he discovered and invented in the field of electrical science. The Serbian-American scientist most known for inventing the rotating magnetic field and production and distribution of electrical energy based on the use of alternate currents has become more prominent over the years through museums and other art forms. Fascinated by his life and the things he created, Serbian-American director, Sanja Bestic, has teamed up with writer Sheri Graubert to tell the story of Tesla’s life in their new off-Broadway play, Tesla. The play, which will consist of an intimate cast of six actors, three of which will be playing double rolls, will have a preview night on May 23rd at 7pm. Tesla will officially open on May 24th at 8pm and run through June 8th at Theatre 80 with Sunday Matinees at 3pm. With this year being the 70th anniversary of Tesla’s passing, Bestic couldn’t have thought of a more perfect time to bring Tesla into the spotlight. Putting her heart and soul into the life of Tesla, Bestic has gained the support of The Tesla Science Foundation, Nikola Tesla Club, Nikola Tesla Inventors Club of the US, The Consulate General of the Republic of Serbia in New York, The Office for Cooperation with Diaspora and Serbs in the Region, as well as Vuk Jeremic who is a Serbian physicist, Politician and President of the United Nations General Assembly. 

The play lives out Nikola Tesla’s final days in his New York hotel room as he is torn over the destruction and devastation occurring back in his homeland. It will take a look back through the eyes of an older Tesla into his younger years as a scientific inventor in his lab and work place. Tesla will explore the many risks Nikola Tesla took in the scientific realm discovering things that would have brought several advanced technologies to us many years prior to when we actually had them. It will also shine light on Tesla’s relationship with Thomas Edison and will make the audience think twice about Edison’s discoveries. 

The play will star James Lee Taylor, a New York based English actor and model, who will fill the shoes of Nikola Tesla. Taylor, who grew up in a show business family (his father was a comedian and mother, a successful model), always harbored dreams of following in his parents’ footsteps. Modeling and acting being his two main passions, Taylor is signed under Select Model Management and IMG New York and recently starred in the play, The Tiger. Graduated from the world famous Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute, Taylor is looking forward to bringing such an important character such as Tesla to life. He will also star in the upcoming documentary on Nikola Tesla next year also directed and produced by Sanja Bestic.
