Twelve Angry Jurors

Searching for justice sets the bar in classic courtroom drama

By Reginald Rose, adapted by Sherman Sergel
Directed by Susan K. Berkompas

Originally titled Twelve Angry Men, this gripping drama presents a room full of perfect strangers who must decide the fate of a teenage boy from the wrong side of the tracks who is on trial for the murder of his father. The evidence appears stacked against him, but after an initial vote, the hidden preconceptions and assumptions of each juror are revealed. Tensions rise as the evidence in the case is examined further and each juror is forced to face their own prejudices before casting their final verdict. “Is this any way to run a justice system? On a stage, it is!” —The Washington Post
