ETOPiA Presents: THE AGONY AND THE ECSTASY OF STEVE JOBS

Northwestern University's Robert R. McCormick School of Engineering and Applied Science proudly presents an ETOPiA production:

THE AGONY AND THE ECSTASY OF STEVE JOBS

Written by Mike Daisy
Directed and Performed by Lance Baker

A harrowing tale of pride, beauty, lust, and industrial design, THE AGONY AND THE ECSTASY OF STEVE JOBS, illuminates how Jobs and his obsessions have shaped our lives.

The play takes the audience all the way to China to investigate the factories where millions toil to make smart phones and computers, shining a light on our love affair with electronic gadgets and the human cost of creating them. After being featured in "This American Life" on public radio in 2012, the play was revised and all fiction stripped away to produce the current hard-hitting version.

THE AGONY AND THE ECSTASY OF STEVE JOBS features Lance Baker, a Joseph Jefferson Award-winning Chicago actor who has appeared on stages at the Goodman Theatre, Chicago Shakespeare, Theatre Wit, and others. The ETOPiA production is a remount of the 16th Street Theatre’s production, in which Baker starred in February 2013.
