Edison's Last Breath Tim Duax

Strange, but true! In the Henry Ford Museum in Detroit is an isolated secure display containing a single test tube. The test tube holds Thomas Alva Edison's last breath. In this fact-based historical and humorous play a small community theater company gathers to do a reading, argue among themselves, and learn a little history. In the reading, Thomas Alva Edison and Henry Ford meet in a tavern in New York City and discuss inventions, Modern Man, and the possibility of life after death. What follows in this fast-paced reading is a startling discovery made by drinking buddies in the same tavern one hundred years after Edison and Ford's visit, ...and the meaning behind 888. The fictional tavern has a real life counterpart in Hell's Kitchen, NYC.
