AUI is proud to present a very special four-performance-only run of Mike Daisey’s THE AGONY AND THE ECSTASY OF STEVE JOBS, the monster hit play about the impact of Jobs and Apple – as well as Apple’s overseas factories – on the lives we live today. The play is currently enjoying a successful Off-Broadway run at the Public Theatre.
Here’s how the Public Theatre describes AGONY/ECSTASY: “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.”
Produced by special permission of Daisey, who’s released the play to theatre companies across the country, AGONY/ECSTASY is part of an experiment in theatrical commons (akin to Louis C. K.’s recent online comedy film release) that makes a current theatre smash available to all. This production of AGONY/ECSTASY is just one small piece of a large national theatrical project, pushing the form into the new century.
THE AGONY AND THE ECSTASY OF STEVE JOBS is a must-see for anyone interested in the future of theatre and in the future of our technological world.
THE AGONY AND THE ECSTASY OF STEVE JOBS will play Theatre 810 for four performances only, and will play a special schedule. The show will play Saturday matinees at 2 p.m. on March 17 and 24. The show will play Sunday evening performances at 7 p.m. on March 18 and March 25. Tickets are $10. For more information or to make reservations, call 484-0172.
