The Mount Players Presents ‘Twelve Angry Men’ by Reginald Rose
A coloured boy's life is on the line - a jury must decide
A jury trial, or trial by jury, is a lawful proceeding in which a jury makes a decision or findings of fact. It is distinguished from a bench trial in which a judge or panel of judges makes all decisions. 12 Angry Men, by Reginald Rose is a drama set in the 1950’s in an American court room. An 18 year old, coloured boy’s life is on the line after being convicted of murdering his father. 2 witnesses attest the fact – a cut and dried case……or is it? An intense drama that betrays the good, the bad and the vulnerability of human nature. It also explores the power that one person has to elicit change.
