The Improbable Fall, Rise & Fall of John Law is a play written by Matt Herzfeld that tells the story of one of 18th century Europe's more famous individuals: John Law. Depending on who you ask, Law is regarded as either a financial genius or a treacherous con-man and this play looks at Law's invention of paper as modern currency. A peek inside how modern capitalism got started as well as a sardonic look at a historical figure with mixed reputations, The Improbable Fall, Rise & Fall of John Law has been praised for its powerful dynamics.
