TFA blurb review
The Unconquered is a three-act play written by Russian-American author Ayn Rand as an adaptation of her 1936 novel We the Living. Producer George Abbott staged the play on Broadway in February 1940, featuring Helen Craig (pictured) as 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 Leo recovers from his illness, he 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. The production was troubled by problems with the script and the cast. 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.

Just a suggested blurb ... thoughts and edits are welcome. - Dank (push to talk) 00:30, 25 July 2019 (UTC)
 * I'd suspect a picture of Rand would lead to a few more clicks. Josh Milburn (talk) 20:09, 29 July 2019 (UTC) Sorry; I see we don't have one! Josh Milburn (talk) 20:11, 29 July 2019 (UTC)
 * We had a free use picture of Rand for a while, but a discussion at Commons decided the copyright status on it wasn't clear enough. As to the blurb overall, I've put the article on the list at WP:TFARP for the play's premier anniversary in February, so I was going to pay it more attention a little closer to then. --RL0919 (talk) 20:22, 29 July 2019 (UTC)
