About 12 Angry Men
12 Angry Men is the gripping, penetrating, and engrossing
examination of a diverse group of twelve jurors who are
uncomfortably brought together to deliberate after hearing the
'facts' in a seemingly open-and-shut murder trial case. They
retire to a jury room to do their civic duty and serve up a just
verdict for the indigent whose life is in the balance. The play
is a powerful indictment, denouncement and expose of the trial
by jury system. The frightened, defendant is on trial, as well
as the jury and the American judicial system with its purported
sense of infallibility, fairness and lack of bias.
