Stage review Heaps of fun in Steve Jobs and Bill Gates rap battle

A young Gates (of Microsoft) meets Jobs (of Apple) at a computer club competition in the 70s. Jobs wins it and from hereon the rivalry is on - or that is how this production spins it.

There is little fidelity to fact, or nuance, or penetrating psychological unpicking. But it is a highly entertaining, well-put-together parody, however cartoonish in its portrayal of the two players. It takes swipes at technology (from old-school cameras to printers) and the nerdy megalomania of tech culture itself.
