Ottawa StoryTellers & Ottawa Fringe present:
The Inventor of All Things
Written and performed by Jem Rolls Friday, May 6, 2016 Arts Court Theatre, 2 Daly St 8:00 PM Leo Szilard, the forgotten hero and first man who ever thought of the Atomic bomb. A man too preposterous for fiction. He’s a Jewish Hungarian, on the run form the Nazis in London in 1933
he has the single, scariest idea any human being has ever had - the Atomic Bomb. Oh, and he is very funny. OST & Ottawa Fringe are thrilled to be presenting jem and his
hit Fringe show. A show that has
its way all across Canada! The truth, Jem Rolls has done more Fringe Festivals than anyone on earth!
