About this event

Theater

History has never been this ridiculous nor this fun! It’s 1876, and Alexander Graham Bell and his archrival, Elisha Gray, compete to save the world from the tyranny of telegraphs. Toiling in their laboratories, skullduggery ensues as the inventors go to extraordinary lengths in their absurd quest for legacy. Who will claim the title? Stranger-than-fiction, Ahoy-Hoy is a deliriously unhinged gallop through the (mostly) true tale of the invention of the telephone.
