12 Angry Jurors

Based on the Emmy Award-Winning Television Movie by Reginald Rose Adapted by Sherman L. Sergel
From Dramatic Publishing Company: "A 19-year-old man has just stood trial for the fatal stabbing of his father. "He doesn't stand a chance," mutters the guard as the 12 jurors are taken into the bleak jury room. It looks like an open-and-shut case—until one of the jurors begins opening the others' eyes to the facts. "This is a remarkable thing about democracy," says the foreign-born juror, "that we are notified by mail to come down to this place—and decide on the guilt or innocence of a person; of a man or woman we have not known before. We have nothing to gain or lose by our verdict. We should not make it a personal thing." But personal it is, with each juror revealing his or her own character as the various testimonies are re-examined, the murder is re-enacted and a new murder threat is born before their eyes! Tempers get short, arguments grow heated, and the jurors become 12 angry men. The jurors' final verdict and how they reach it—in tense scenes that will electrify your audience and keep them on the edge of their seats—add up to a fine, mature piece of dramatic literature, an experience you'll be proud to present. " Nearly unchanged from the original production, 12 Angry Jurors includes limited use of course language, discussion of an alleged homocide and violence, and elements of racism and misogyny. All elements of the show contents were addressed in socio-cultural, historic, and artistic lenses with the cast, inclusive of best practices of EDTA, NHETG, and BTW.
