Paul Kraniak, a playwright in Milwaukee, WI, and Exec. Director of Discovery
World Museum, did a similar play about Tesla.  I believe it was called "The
Last of the Geniuses" or something similar.  I saw it about 12 years ago and
it was terrific.  It ended with the Tesla actor screaming, "More Power
Czito!" and closed out with a spectacular display of Tesla fireworks.
