FOSTER ENTERTAINMENT PRESENTS…
HIS NON-DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT HAS EXPIRED. NOW THE TRUTH CAN BE TOLD…
MIKE DAISEY’S 21 DOG YEARS - DOING TIME @ AMAZON.COM
Boy meets dot-com, boy falls for dot-com, boy flees
dot-com in horror ‘Mike Daisey does what Michael Moore once did for
General Motors’ [Entertainment Weekly]
Mike Daisey worked for Amazon.com during its tumultuous early years - and
survived. Now, in an epic story of greed, self-deception, and heartbreak in the
dot-com boom-and-bust era, he tells the real story - how he learned to slavishly
love 60-hour working weeks and worshipped the cult of personality that is company
chief, Jeff Bezos.
'The world’s first dot.comic’ [GUARDIAN]
‘Absolutely hilarious’ [New York Times]
In 1998, when Amazon.com went to temping agencies to recruit people, they
gave them a simple directive: send us your freaks. Mike Daisey - actor, comedian,
author, blood plasma seller, night janitor in a home for the violently mentally
ill and general layabout - seemed perfect for the job.
‘Between Spalding Gray and Robin Williams’
[NEW YORK POST]
This tale of how a dilettante made his way through the ranks of corporate America
over the course of twenty-one dog years is the stuff of both dreams and nightmares.
‘Surreal, silly and telling. Daisey is brutally
funny’ [The Seattle Times]
Mike Daisey’s 21 Dog Years is a wickedly funny anthem to the darkly humorous
compromises necessary every day to survive in corporate America. After several
highly successful Off-Broadway runs, this is Mike’s UK debut.
‘Achingly funny and painfully honest’
[Backstage]
‘We haven't seen the show, but we hear it's
quite funny’ [Patty Smith, Amazon spokesperson]
