“The power of one voice can shatter the silence of a crowd.”

12 Angry Men, a play by Reginald Rose, is a powerful courtroom drama that delves into the complexities of the American justice system. Set in a single jury room, the play follows twelve jurors tasked with deciding the fate of a teenage boy accused of murdering his father. Initially, the case seems straightforward, with all but one juror convinced of the boy’s guilt. However, as Juror 8 methodically questions the evidence and challenges the prejudices and preconceptions of his fellow jurors, the case takes a dramatic turn.

The play masterfully explores themes of justice, reasonable doubt, and the impact of personal biases, highlighting the moral and ethical responsibilities inherent in the judicial process. Through its intense dialogue and character-driven narrative, 12 Angry Men offers a compelling examination of how personal integrity and critical thinking can influence the course of justice.

Each performance will be followed by a Q&A talkback with Judges and other members of the judicial system.
