The Agony and the Ecstasy of Steve Jobs’ Return Engagement Extends Off-Broadway

Mike Daisey’s one-man show The Agony and the Ecstasy of Steve Jobs, currently running at the Public Theater, has been extended by two weeks. The production opened on January 31 and was scheduled to close on March 4. The production will now run through March 18.

This is a return engagement for Daisey’s solo show. The initial run of Steve Jobs began previews at the Public on October 11, 2011 and was originally scheduled to close on November 13, but was extended an additional three weeks to December 4.

In The Agony and the Ecstasy of Steve Jobs, Daisey wraps his formidable wit around America's most mysterious technology icon in what's described as a "hilarious and harrowing tale of pride, beauty, lust and industrial design." Daisey illuminates how the late Apple CEO and his obsessions shaped 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 journey shines a light on our love affair with our devices and the human cost of creating them.

The Agony and the Ecstasy of Steve Jobs is directed by Daisey's longtime collaborator Jean-Michele Gregory.
