If you can't make it out to the Public Theater in New York City to see Mike Daisey perform his explosive "The Agony And The Ecstasy Of Steve Jobs," never fear: tens of thousands of people now have the power to stage Daisey's one-man play themselves, including you, if you so choose. Daisey's radical decision to offer his script to the public as a free download on his Web site has resulted in 60,000 downloads in only a few days, reports Playbill:
A representative for Daisey said that within the first 48 hours of Agony and the Ecstacy's online publication Feb. 21, over 42,000 individuals had downloaded the script. The figure had risen to over 60,000 as of Feb. 24.
Playbill also reports that Lance Baker, a Chicago-based stage and film actor, will be among the first to perform the play, premiering it in Chicago at the Red Orchid Theatre on March 5.
For decades, Daisey has alchemized his obsessions into monologues.
