About the event
IT IS 1957 Â AND ITS THE HOTTEST DAY OF THE YEAR.
IT TAKES PLACE IN A LOCKED JURY ROOM IN NEW YORK CITY - BUT FEELS LIKE ITS UNFOLDING IN THE DIRT AND DUST OF A BULLRING OR THE CANVAS FLOOR OF A BOXING RING.
12 JURORS WITH THE FATE - THE LIFE - OF A TEENAGER ACCUSED OF MURDER IN THEIR HANDS.
IF GUILTY, THE BOY WILL BE EXECUTED.
ONE WOULD THINK THIS IS A RESPONSIBILITY THAT DEMANDS TO BE DISCUSSED AND DISSECTED FOR HOURS, IF NOT DAYS , BUT ON FIRST BALLOT, 11 OF THE 12 VOTE ‘GUILTY’.
ONE MAN STANDS ALONE.
NOT TO SPARE THE BOY'S LIFE BUT TO DISCUSS THE EVIDENCE AGAINST HIM Â AND NOT RUSH TO JUDGMENT.
BUT HE FINDS HIMSELF BATTLING HATRED, PREJUDICE, INDECISION, CRUELTY AND IN ONE CASE A JUROR VOTING FOR EXECUTION BECAUSE HE HAS TICKETS TO A BALLGAME.
​
12 ORDINARY MEN.
ONE SHOCKING DRAMA.
ONE EXTRAORDINARY THEATRE EXPERIENCE.
