Randolph College Presents 12 Angry Jurors

Mar 26, 2024 @ 07:30 pm - Mar 30, 2024 @ 02:00 pm

Randolph College Presents 12 Angry Jurors12 Angry Jurors
by Reginald Rose
Stage Version by Sherman L. Sergel
Directed by Eric Benson

A 19-year-old boy 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 man, of a man 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 does become, 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 own eyes! Tempers get short, arguments grow heated, and the jurors become twelve angry people. 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.

Produced by special arrangement with THE DRAMATIC
PUBLISHING COMPANY of Woodstock, Illinois
