Worthy of This Great City — Mike Miller

Ruth Askew, a minor celebrity, is spouting some highly incompetent philosophy about the end of virtue, a fortunate woman mysterious pushed to extremes. Con Manos, a journalist, is searching for certainty, meanwhile attempting to uncover a political scandal or two. Add in some undistinguished members of Philadelphia City Council, an easy listening radio station, a disorganized charity, a prestigious newspaper, 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 uncertain question everything you think you think about today's most discussed issues: populism and elitism, the possibility of truth, the reach of profound stupidity, and the limits of personal responsibility in these post-truth, morally times.
