The monologist...in dialogue! Mike Daisey brings his critically acclaimed monologue The Last Cargo Cult and the much-anticipated Agony and the Ecstasy of Steve Jobs to Berkeley Rep. Performances of Cargo Cult start on Tuesday. For a preview of his tremendous tale-spinning talent, check out his interview with dramaturg Madeleine Oldham. Here's a gem:

"We’re very used to criticizing how much we love our shit, but one of the reasons we love it is that it is awesome. And that’s a legitimate thing — we love it because it’s awesome. That’s why we want it so much, and why, in fact, every culture that is introduced to our awesome shit loves it as well."

Read the whole interview...and then buy tickets!
