The Disciple

The digital-theater company Thirdwing ventures into live performance for the first time with write-director Rachel Carey's two-hander about the connection between one of the leaders of the modern self-help movement and the objectivist philosopher-novelist Ayn Rand, with whom he shared a long and sordid affair. The 80-minute piece has been expanded from a section of Thirdwing's The Female Genius, which streamed early in the pandemic last year. (The ticket price includes a three-month subsciption to the company's streaming service.)
