A play by William Missouri Downs

The Trial of Ayn Rand is an exploration of the woman who has become the face and symbol of capitalism.  She is a controversial figure, and her life has been a source of conversation for decades.  Think you know her?  Maybe you don’t know her as well as you think. 

Come see a play that looks at the life and legacy of Ayn Rand and get a chance to learn more and decide if she is in fact guilty as charged: 

“Charge #1: Your thoughts on laissez-faire capitalism contributed to our current situation.  Including our problems with homelessness, poverty, even our poor health.

Charge #2: That you had many interesting philosophies but that your thoughts on selfishness have been taken too far and have led to Social Darwinism.

Charge #3: That you failed to practice in your own personal life the philosophies you preach.”

Ayn will be on hand to defend herself, of course.  YOU are the jury and decide the ending.  

This show will run March 1-9 at the SLC Theatre Co-Op at The Gateway, starring Nan Weber and William Davies.
