Portsmouth Abbey School is proud to present The Farnsworth Invention by Aaron Sorkin.   

It’s 1929. Two ambitious visionaries race against each other to invent a device called “television.” Separated by two thousand miles, each knows that if he stops working, even for a moment, the other will gain the edge. Who will unlock the key to the greatest innovation of the 20th century: the ruthless media mogul, or the self-taught Idaho farm boy? The answer comes to compelling life in The Farnsworth Invention, the new play from Aaron Sorkin, creator of The West Wing, The Newsroom, and The Social Network. Portsmouth Abbey School has cleverly staged the play in-the-round, using three stages and a large projection screen, making this an exciting and intimate production.

The Farnsworth Invention will be presented in the auditorium at Portsmouth Abbey School on Saturday, November 10th at 7:30pm, and Sunday, November 11th at 2:00pm. Tickets are $8 for adults and $5 for students and seniors (children 12 and under are free) and can be purchased at the door.

Portsmouth Abbey School is located at 285 Cory’s Lane in Portsmouth. For additional information, please contact Jay Bragan (Director of Performing Arts) at 683-2000 x218.
