Mike Daisey Returns to Seattle With a New Monologue

Writer, monologist, and playwright Mike Daisey, recently profiled by Seattlest, is returning to town next month with a new monologue called The Last Cargo Cult (Richard Hugo House, Aug. 7-22, tix $20). The work is based on Daisey's real-life experiences on two islands. The one, Tanna, is home to one of the world's last surviving cargo cults, the John Frum Movement. The other, Manhattan, is...well, you can see where this is going. Think of The Gods Must Be Crazy meets Wall Street.
