Three Plays

Published together for the first time are three of Ayn Rand's compelling stage plays. The courtroom drama Night of January 16th a 1935 Broadway success famous for leaving the verdict to the audience is presented here in its definitive final revised text - a superb dramatization of Rand's vision of human strengths and weaknesses. Also included are two of Rand's unproduced plays: Think Twice a clever philosophical murder mystery and Ideal a bitter indictment of people's willingness to betray their highest values as symbolized by a Hollywood goddess suspected of a crime and fleeing the authorities.
