Synopsis

Published together for the first time are three of Ayn Rand's most compelling stage plays.

The courtroom drama Night of January 16th, famous for its open-ended verdict, is presented here in its definitive text.

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-symbolized by a Hollywood goddess suspected of a crime.
