The Agony and the Ecstasy of Steve Jobs

About

Written by Mike Daisey, The Agony and the Ecstasy of Steve Jobs is a fact-based theatrical monologue that explores the questionable ethics behind the construction and consumption of Apple products, and more specifically, the dire conditions of the Chinese plants where iconic gadgets are produced. Though some parts of the original monologue were deemed exaggerated, and Daisey ended up removing about five minutes of controversial details, the play has been acclaimed for its searing examination and commentary on globalization as well as the 21st century obsession with technology.
