“Hedy Lamarr, glamorous siren of the silver screen, was more than the most beautiful woman in the world. She invented frequency hopping and spread spectrum technology that make the world of wireless communication tick. From Austria to Hollywood, WWII, torpedoes, ecstasy, and intrigue to the very cell phone in your pocket, Hedy Lamarr is there!”
Heather Massie enchants the audience as Hedy Lamarr, along with Jimmy Stewart, Bette Davis, Louis B Mayer, and more! A 36-character solo play where the audience summons Hedy to unearth the truth behind how a glamorous Hollywood film star could create an invention which launched today's wireless technology revolution!
This 24x Award-Winning, Internationally Acclaimed play premiered Off Broadway in 2016 on Theatre Row. And has since toured through the US, Ireland, Northern Ireland, Zimbabwe, South Africa, Italy, Sweden, Finland, Ukraine, Iceland, Egypt, and Tunisia. In 2019 I was honored to serve as a Fulbright Specialist with the show in South Africa through the US State Department, the US Embassy South Africa, and World Learning.
