(CBS) A one man play based on Steve Jobs’ life and his impact on humanity is set to debut off-Broadway. “The Agony and the Ecstasy of Steve Jobs,” written, produced and 목포콜걸 starring Mike Daisey, will premiere on Oct. 17, 2011 at The Public Theater in New York, with previews starting next week.
“Many of us feel a deep intimacy with Steve’s passing, because Apple’s design language and Jobs’ obsessions blur the lines — in a real sense many people’s intimate history with Apple has been a decades-long conversation about industrial design with Steve Jobs himself,” Mike Daisey said in a statement.
According The Public Theater, “The Agony and the Extacy of Steve Jobs” takes a closer look at how the former Apple CEO and his obsessions changed the public’s lives. It also touches on Daisey’s travels to China to investigate the conditions of the workers who create iPhones and iPads for the masses. On the show’s description page, Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak is quoted saying, “I will never be the same after seeing that show.”
“This moment is an opportunity to peel back the surface and get at the secret heart of our relationship with Steve Jobs, his devices, our labor, and China itself,” Daisey added in the statement.
Daisey has been performing the play for the last 16 months. He started previews at the Berkeley Repertory Theatre in Berkley, Calif, the International Business Times reports.
“Steve Jobs was famous for his unsentimental directness, his ability to ignore nostalgia and demand the unvarnished truth, however difficult. I admire that, and these performances at this precise moment are an opportunity for us to together rediscover how alive theater can be when we don’t know all the answers,” Daisey said in the statement.
