We suspected that the return of
Mike Daisey’s controversial show
The Agony and the Ecstasy of Steve Jobs to Woolly Mammoth this summer might not happen quietly. (In case you were living under a rock when the show was disowned
by
This American Life, catch up
here.) For one thing, Daisey
isn’t really one to shy away from the
spotlight.
For another, after an awkward March speech at Georgetown
University in which Daisey seemed to issue a mea
culpa
of sorts, he’s seemed positively unapologetic in recent
months.
But we certainly weren’t expecting the news that Apple cofounder
Steve Wozniak would actually join Daisey
onstage for a post-show discussion of Apple’s factory conditions in
China. Nevertheless, Wozniak
will appear at Woolly Mammoth in person August 4 for a special
event following the performance. If you’re curious to see what
exactly the two will talk about, better save up now: Tickets
start at $100. But here’s a clue: On Daisey’s
website,
there’s a quote from Wozniak saying he will “never be the same”
after seeing
Agony/Ecstasy the first time around.
