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.
