This book brings three Ayn Rand's compelling stage plays. Written in 1933, 'Night of January 16th' is presented in its definitive text- a superb dramatic objectification of Ayn Rand's vision of human strength and weakness, a play famous for the author's refusal to prearrange a dramatized verdict, leaving the solution to the audience. Also included are two of Rand's unproduced plays - 'Think Twice' (1939), a philosophical murder mystery, and 'Ideal' (1934), the author's bitter indictment of people's willingness to betray their highest values, symbolized by a Hollywood goddess seemingly fleeing the authorities.
