COMING ATTRACTIONS
TWELVE ANGRY MEN
What seems like an open-and-shut murder case becomes a twisted puzzle of prejudice and intrigue. Twelve jurors in a murder trial are corralled in a room for the duration of their deliberation. As prejudices are tested and evidence weighed, the entire jury is forced to look past the show of the courtroom to unearth the shocking truth. Faced with playing the hangmen, these dozen men must first face themselves.
The National Tour of TWELVE ANGRY MEN stars Richard Thomas (Juror #8), and is directed by Scott Ellis and produced by Roundabout Theatre Company, one of the country's leading not-for-profit theatres.

THE GREATEST COURTROOM DRAMA OF ALL TIME!
Twelve Jurors. Twelve walks of life. And only two ways to rule: guilty or not guilty.
Roundabout Theatre Company's Broadway production of the searing courtroom drama, TWELVE ANGRY MEN, was the longest running production at their home, the American Airlines Theatre, running for 32 weeks. This production marked the first time the show was ever seen on a Broadway stage. Its record-breaking run earned three Tony Award nominations and unanimous praise from the critics. "The undeniable hit of the Broadway dramatic season!" raved Jesse McKinley (New York Times). John Simon (New York Magazine) proclaimed it "A classic in the making!" and Michael Kuchwara (Associated Press) described it as, "Exhilarating! An absorbing theatrical experience."
In TWELVE ANGRY MEN, a young delinquent awaits sentencing for the manslaughter of his aggressive father. Twelve jurors are corralled in a room for their deliberations in a murder trial. One juror feels that there is a "reasonable doubt" - to the frustration of his eleven colleagues - thereby preventing a quick verdict. During the heated debate, the hidden preconceptions and assumptions of the jurors are revealed. When faced with playing the hangman, each juror is forced to face himself.
"Twelve Angry Men," originally written as a teleplay that appeared in 1954 on CBS' drama series "Studio One," was one of the brightest jewels of television's Golden Age. The story was subsequently made into a major motion picture in 1957. Reginald Rose, who would go on to create and write scripts for the television series, "The Defenders," wrote a stage version in 1964. In 1997, Showtime, in response to questions about "reasonable doubt" raised during the OJ Simpson trial, produced a new movie version with a racially diverse cast.
