     In a truly unique evening of theatre, Texas Performing Arts welcomes world-renowned L.A. Theatre Works (LATW)and its performance of Peter Goodchild’s classic radio drama, The Real Dr. Strangelove: Edward Teller and the Battle for the H-Bomb. Be transported back in time to the birth of the Atomic Age as the first H-Bomb detonates and we learn the story of its creator, Edward Teller. The bomb puts Teller on a collision course with Robert Oppenheimer, head of the team that created its precursor, the Atom bomb. Oppenheimer has turned pacifist, the government will stop at nothing to neutralize him — and Teller is their secret weapon. The script is taken directly from Oppenheimer’s trial, which led to the revocation of his security clearance. For two decades, LATW has been the foremost radio company in the United States. Broadcast in America on NPR and internationally on the BBC, CBC, and the Voice of America, LATW has brought live theater into the homes of millions. The group’s touring performances are immediate, spontaneous, and feature a first-rate cast, live sound effects, and a connection to the audience rarely felt in traditional theater settings. “L.A. Theatre Works has proven to be original, exciting, and…highly theatrical…” AMERICAN THEATRE MAGAZINE
