Ruth Askew, a local celebrity mysteriously pushed to extremes, is spouting some highly incompetent philosophy about the end of virtue. Con Manos, a journalist, is struggling for certainty, meanwhile attempting to uncover a political scandal or two. Add in some undistinguished members of Philadelphia City Council, a popular radio station, a disorganized charity, a prestigious newspaper, and any number of lawyers and other professional criminals. In Worthy Of This Great City the compelling stories of two stubborn individualists intertwine in a scathing satire that invites you to question everything you think you think about today's most urgent issues: populism and elitism, the possibility of truth, the power of profound stupidity, and the limits of personal responsibility in these post-truth, morally-uncertain times.
