  • The Unconquered is a three-act play written by Russian-American author Ayn Rand as an adaptation of her 1936 novel We the Living. The story follows Kira Argounova, a young woman living in the Soviet Union in the 1920s. Her lover Leo Kovalensky develops tuberculosis. To get money for his treatment, Kira has an affair with a Communist official, Andrei Taganov. After recovering from his illness, Leo becomes involved with black market food sales that Andrei is investigating. When Andrei realizes that Kira loves Leo, he helps his rival avoid prosecution, then commits suicide. Leo leaves Kira, who decides to risk her life escaping the country. Rand sold an option for the adaptation to producer Jerome Mayer and wrote a script, but he was unable to stage the play. Upon learning about the script, Russian actress Eugenie Leontovich recommended it to producer George Abbott. He staged the play on Broadway in February 1940. The production was troubled by problems with the script and the cast, including the firing of Leontovich and other actors before the premiere. When the play opened at the Biltmore Theatre, it was a critical and financial failure, and closed in less than a week. It was the last of Rand's plays produced during her lifetime. The script was published in 2014. (en)
  • 《不败者》是俄裔美国作家安·兰德创作的三幕戏剧,改编自她1936年的小说《我们活着的人》。故事的主人公是20世纪20年代生活在苏联的年轻女子基拉·阿尔戈诺娃。她的恋人利奥·柯瓦伦斯基患上了结核病,为了得到治疗费,基拉与苏联共产党官员安德烈·塔加诺夫发生了关系。病愈后,利奥卷入了安德烈正在调查的黑市食品销售。当安德烈意识到基拉爱着利奥后,他帮助情敌逃避起诉,然后自杀。利奥离开了基拉,基拉决定冒着生命危险逃出国门。 兰德将剧本的改编权卖给了制片人杰罗姆·梅耶,并撰写了剧本,但杰罗姆没能将剧本搬上舞台。俄国女演员尤金妮·莱昂托维奇得知这个剧本后,推荐给了制片人乔治·艾博特。1940年2月,该剧在百老汇剧院上演。由于剧本和演员均存在问题,甚至在首演前解雇了莱昂托维奇和其他演员。该剧在比尔特莫剧院上演后,口碑崩盘票房惨淡,不到一周便停演了。这是兰德生前制作的最后一部戏剧,剧本于2014年出版。 (zh)
