The Night of January 16 / Play

The Night of January 16th is a play set in a courtroom during a murder trial written by Ayn Rand.  An unusual feature of this play is that members of the audience are chosen to play the jury. The court hears the case of Karen Andre, former secretary and lover of businessman Bjorn Faulkner, of whose murder she is accused. The jury must rely on character  testimony to decide whether Andre is guilty. The play’s ending depends on the verdict and will vary from performance to performance.
