Edisson & Jeremiah

In 2020 at the height of the covid pandemic a boy named Edisson is born. Fourteen years later, he performs a magic show unlike any ever staged. In the audience sits Jeremy Vanderbilt Delaney, a onetime celebrity who is now a ruin of a man. As the remarkable magic show develops, events transpire to reveal how religious fanaticism shattered Jeremy’s life and branded him with the cult name, Jeremiah. Even as Edisson’s show conveys America’s best aspects: its seeking nature, natural talent for leadership and limitless capacity for innovation, Jeremiah’s journey reflects some of the worst. Ultimately, Edisson’s show demonstrates a liberating path for Jeremiah, and offers a healing lesson for a divided America.
