Who knew Ayn Rand was a pioneer of interactive theatre? Her 1934 play signs its audience up for jury service and our collective verdict determines the ending. If the law is an ass, 'Night of January 16th' is basically a donkey ride.
Intended as a serious illustration of objectivist ethics (Rand's system of self-interest), it's essentially a schlocky murder mystery: mediocre, but also great fun. Crooked financier Bjorn Faulkner, for whom wrong and right mattered less than can and can't (he always could), is found dead. In the dock, his lover and secretary Karen Andre (Francesca Secchi) stands accused of murder.
Fantastic work from Jonathan Rigby and David Mildon as the two jousting attorneys keeps things snappy and taut, making 'Night of January 16th' a real guilty pleasure.

I was dragged to this play by my Mrs last week, and I have to say I was surprised at how much I enjoyed myself. I usually much prefer large productions in the West End but the intimacy if this courtroom drama made it all the more involving. The cast were excellent with 'Guts' Regan (Donavan Imber) being the stand out charector for me. I will definitely following the Half Door Theatre companies future productions.
