Before Guglielmo Marconi came along, there was no practical way to transmit telegraphic messages without wires. But when he harnessed the power of radio waves to send signals over long distances, what had once seemed impossible became a world-changing reality. In this original L.A. Theatre Works commission, we'll get a firsthand, intimate view of the precocious Italian inventor, and what he had to overcome in his quest to revolutionize the way we communicate.
Can You Hear Me is available as part of L.A. Theatre Works' Relativity Series of science-themed plays, sponsored by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation.
