When I asked him nearly a year ago if he’d be interested in grappling with Shakespeare in his inimitable style as mono- logist, author, actor, and raconteur, he was beyond excited. And I use the word “beyond” to mean this: right off the bat, he started wrestling with Shake- speare, right there on the phone with me. He thinks by talking, he creates by talking, and he discovers meaning by talking. At the end of our two-hour talk, I was breathless. What I thought was going to be a “get to know each other” conversation turned into a ride through Mike Daisey’s brilliant mind. I felt myself slightly dizzied by our conversation—indeed, I hadn’t thought about Shakespeare like that in a long time: what he means to the world today, and why he is necessary to us as a society and as individuals as we grapple with affairs of state, of nation, of community, of family, of ourselves.

Mike doesn’t write out his material for his

performances. He takes notes, he thinks it through, and then gets on the ride and brings us with him.

Although he is talking to us, he is really in conversation with us. He was trained as an actor and knows that the audience is always in conversation with the performer, even if the audience isn’t “talking.” That’s probably why he doesn’t memorize and report. He reads the room, has ideas in his head, and a great topic at stake—Shakespeare’s tragedies. And with that, he tells a story.

Mike provokes. He challenges. He questions. He entertains. He takes his audiences on a thrilling ride. Enjoy.
