    Before The Social Network, There Was The Farnsworth Invention
  

*by M***L on Reviewed in the United States on March 7, 2019*

Despite having been a fan of Sorkin since watching The American President and later The West Wing, I'd somehow not managed to encounter his 2007 stage play The Farnsworth Invention until recently. Originally meant to be a feature film directed by his West Wing creative partner Thomas Schlamme, it instead made its way to the Broadway stage. Reading it just as the script on the page, how does it hold up?The script is the story of the clash over one of the twentieth century's defining inventions: television. Specifically, its creation and the battle in court between the two leads: the inventor, the titular Mr. Farsnworth, and the media mogul, David Sarnoff, who wanted to control and exploit it. In a way, it's hard not to look at the play as almost a prototype for Sorkin's Oscar-winning screenplay for The Social Network just a few years later. Both are tales of technologies that changed the world, the stories behind which are framed by lawsuits and unreliable narrators.More than that, it seems tailored to the author. The dialogue is brimming with wit and intelligence, something which makes hearing or reading it just on the page. The script too has his non-stop pace, clicking along through both acts with only enough of a pause for an intermission. In that regard, it's quintessential Sorkin.And yet, those are precisely the problems with it as a stage play. Sorkin's delightful dialogue obscures the characters into cut-outs, a large cast playing dozens of roles who don't so much inhabit them as delivering his lines. The pacing gives it the feel not of a work of theatre but of what it began its life as - a screenplay. It's full of short scenes which often, both on their own and in the sum, don't feel as though they amount to much as subplots arise and fall with little or no payoff. To his credit, Sorkin has owned up to the fact that story is his Achilles Heel and, ultimately, The Farnsworth Invention is no exception to that.On the whole, however, if you're a Sorkin fan, then this is well worth checking out. In many ways, it is everything one would like from one of his scripts with its dialogue and pacing, even if they are also contributing factors in its shortcomings. Plus, let's be honest, even anything less than successful by Sorkin is better than nothing.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    High drama that is accessible, the Sorkin way
  

*by H***. on Reviewed in the United States on August 24, 2016*

As with other Aaron Sorkin dramas, the Farmsworth Invention is a wall-to-wall action packed dialogue of witty, quick repartee. It's fast-paced and ever so forward moving. The drama is constructed well where you are rooting for Farnsworth to break through and find success over his competitors.This is a quintessential Sorkin that fans will enjoy just as much as his other acclaimed works of writing.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    A good read.
  

*by D***R on Reviewed in the United States on October 5, 2019*

I had seen this show during its brief run on Broadway, and it was great. It's a good read, as all of Sorkin's scripts are.
