Worthy of This Great City

Ruth Askew, a Philadelphia celebrity, is spouting an unusual philosophy. Maybe she can actually think something different. Con Manos, a journalist, is attempting to uncover a political scandal or two, but just the usual boring kind. Add in some undistinguished members of City Council, a popular radio station, a disorganized charity, a prestigious newspaper, plus any number of lawyers and other professional criminals.

Worthy Of This Great City recounts the conflict between two stubborn individualists in a snarky satire that incidentally invites you to question everything you think you think about populism and Liberal elitism, the possibility of truth, the power of profound stupidity, and the limits of personal responsibility in our post-truth, morally-uncertain times.

Because actually you don't know anything.
