Twelve Angry Men is the classic jury room story about the fate of a young man accused of murdering his father. As the story unfolds, the audience is introduced to how each juror’s personal experiences and prejudices influence how they see the guilt or innocence of the accused. Even the Guard has his own thoughts about this young man. Although the play is set in 1953, the audience may well recognize in these jurors men of today. A study in human nature and a lesson in democracy, the show never fails to make one think.
