View delightful Letter of Congratulations from MLA Judy Edwards

"It was a privilege to view it. All credit to Frank Tabbita for an excellent performance and to Jeff Amaral for setting up the stage and lighting. Fascinating, thought-provoking, surprising; it was a totally enjoyable experience. All the more of a surprise because it was completely unknown to most of the people who filled the Octagon Theatre here in Perth. I hope that we will see this production again in Australia. Many thanks!"

-- Branislav Grbovic

Tesla Forum Chairman, Perth

"I saw the play at the Octagon Theatre in Perth Western Australia last week and can't get the images out of my mind. Frank Tabbita really brought Tesla alive. It was a sensitive and riveting performance. I really hope there is support out there to bring Frank and Tesla Play back for an extended tour of Australia. Everyone I know who went to the play loved it."
