Considered a modern American classic, Reginald Rose's Twelve Angry Men looks at the jury system in the United States, and considers the personal prejudices and ethics of all of us. 

​

When a young man is placed on trial for the murder of his abusive father, the sentencing comes down to the twelve men in the jury box. The jurors have to determine the life or death of the accused, and when only one of their number stands against them, they are all forced to re-evaluate their prejudices, moral codes, and how both of those things influence their thinking. ​

​

Rose's play is an investigation that looks, not just at the state of the judicial system, but into the hearts and minds of America itself.
