[UA] Part of the NYC urban vibe?

[Lee Williams]

Jean-Michele and I are ecstatic over this new show: to be premiering in NYC
in a monologue that includes THE LARGEST TESLA COIL ON THE ISLAND OF
MANHATTAN--well, there are few things better than that in my book.

We're talking about a Class IV Tesla Coil, which generates arcs of ionizing
electricity over ten feet in length. As our producer told me yesterday,
"Mike, if you have any metal in your body, anywhere, you'd better know
before we turn this thing on."

For pictures of the coil in all its glory, shots of Tesla's last laboratory
and other assorted mischief, check out http://mikedaisey.com where you'll
find it all laid out. But to actually *see* the coil with its ten-foot arcs
of wild ionizing power, and to see if I survive--to see that, you need to
come to Monopoly!

We're thrilled to be playing in rep with BOOZY!, and to be produced by Les
Freres Corbusier. A fantastic preview piece on BOOZY! at the New York Times
via this link: http://tinyurl.com/4ukkj and the full skinny on BOOZY!,
including tickets, can be found at http://boozyshow.com
(See both shows for $25--no better deal in NYC will ever exist.)

YOU CAN'T PLAY THE GAME IF YOU DON'T KNOW THE RULES

In his latest monologue, Mike Daisey illuminates the warped genius of Nikola
Tesla and his war with Edison over electricity, a battle etched into the
streets of New York City. Threads loop and whorl around Microsoft's historic
antitrust lawsuit, the checkered history of the game Monopoly, and
ultimately the story of Daisey's own hometown and its one remaining
retailer: Wal-Mart.

THE RULEBOOK WILL NEVER BE PUBLISHED

Subversive and hilarious, Monopoly! brings to life the questions we confront
in our benevolent era of corporate rule, and the struggles each of us faces
in a system that recognizes only profit and loss.

DO NOT PASS GO
