Critical Praise for 
The Agony and the Ecstasy of Steve Jobs 

"Mr. Daisey is an awesomely gifted stage performer.  The Agony and the Ecstasy of Steve Jobs ranks alongside Follies as the most exciting show in town." 
- Terry Teachout, The Wall Street Journal

"A personal, poignant and passionate piece that stays with you many days after you've seen it. MESMERIZING." 
- Mark Kennedy, Associated Press

"Anyone who sees Mr. Daisey's show-and anyone with a cellphone and a moral center should-will find it hard to forget the repercussions that our casual purchases can have in the lives of men and women (and children) half a world away." 
- Charles Isherwood, The New York Times

"The best original American play so far this year."
- Peter Marks, The Washington Post 

THE AGONY AND THE ECSTASY OF STEVE JOBS

Created and performed by Mike Daisey

Directed by Jean-Michele Gregory

January 31- March 4, 2012

Following the success of The Last Cargo Cult, Mike Daisey turns his razor-sharp wit to America's most mysterious technology icon in this hilarious and harrowing tale of pride, beauty, lust, and industrial design. He illuminates how the former CEO of Apple and his obsessions shape our lives, while sharing stories of his own travels to China to investigate the factories where millions toil to make iPhones and iPods. Daisey's dangerous journey shines a light on our love affair with our devices and the human cost of creating them. 

"I will never be the same after seeing that show." - Steve Wozniak, Apple co-founder
