Steve Jobs Monologue Downloadable, Free February 13, 2012, 3:07 pm On Monday, after nearly 200 performances, the monologuist Mike Daisey was to release a theatrical transcript of his latest one-man show, "The Agony and the Ecstasy of Steve Jobs," through his Web site, mikedaisey.blogspot.com. It will be free to download and in a rare twist, if an aspiring performer should want to mount a production of the show, Mr. Daisey will not ask for payment. "The monologue will be released as a PDF, and it comes with very open licenses and you can perform it forever, without paying royalties, wherever you want," Mr. Daisey said in a telephone interview. The decision comes from his desire to connect with other theater artists and to help organizations that have inquired about the show and want to adapt the work, which describes his trip to Shenzhen, China, and his meetings with factory workers, including those who make Apple products at Foxconn. Mr. Daisey also said he felt that there was no need to stick to the monologue format and that future performers would be free to use the script in any form they choose, even as an opera adaptation. He did say that the file would come with a few requests, however, like, "It would be nice if you let me know where it is happening." This does not mean that Mr. Daisey will no longer perform the material after his current engagement at the Public Theater ends on March 4. A short run in Britain is planned for the spring. He also hopes that the free transcript will bring the monologue to another destination: "I have not managed to get this show to Broadway, but if someone else wants to try, more power to them."
