“In my 32 years as Artistic Director, I can’t think of a single show that has had more impact on the world than The Agony and the Ecstasy of Steve Jobs.” – Howard Shalwitz

Mike Daisey returns to Woolly with his revolutionary monologue, The Agony and the Ecstasy of Steve Jobs. Beginning at Woolly in 2010, this extraordinary show has played extended runs around the world to sold-out crowds and rave reviews. By examining the human price we pay for our high-tech toys, Daisey opened a Pandora's box in the world of technology and production, demanding social responsibility in the corporate sector, inspiring his audiences to action, and influencing drastic change in the corporate practices of both Apple and Foxconn, Apple’s supplier in China.

Following the recent media storm generated by Mike Daisey’s appearance on This American Life and its subsequent retraction, Steve Jobs returns to Woolly this July—stronger, sharper, and more important than ever. This all-new version cuts the contested material and addresses the controversy head on, using the struggle over fact and fiction to tell an even better story that pierces the heart of our human relationship with our labor.

If you think you've seen it before, you don't know this story. If you think you heard it on the radio, you haven't heard anything. And if you've never seen it, now is the moment to experience what many are calling the most notorious and controversial play of the decade.
Ages: Ages 14 and up
