You may remember Twelve Angry Men from the 1957 Oscar-nominated film version starring Henry Fonda, or from the '90s TV remake starring George C. Scott, James Gandolfini, Tony Danza, Edward James Olmos and Jack Lemon. Or perhaps you know it from its recent Broadway run, which won the Drama Desk Award and the Tony Award for Best Play. Whatever the case, the odds are good you've heard of the intense courtroom drama where one dissenting juror stirs up doubts in the others. A teenager from the wrong side of the tracks is on trial for allegedly murdering his father, and the discussion in the jury room brings out the prejudices of each man. Tempers flare, arguments grow heated and the 12 angry men must find a common ground in order to ensure justice.

All 12 men including the Guard was fantastic, they portrayed it similar to the original movie. Would definitely recommend to see it!

Felt like I went to see a high school play. The actors must have had friends in the audience who cackled throughout the play. There was an element of unprofessionalism when the main character made comedic facial expressions at his buddies who were in the audience and they all applauded, hooted and hollered as if this were some stand-up comedy act. The main juror was so soft spoken I could barely hear him. I also didn't understand why everyone was wearing a white shirt and tie. In the original play, the jurors were people from all walks of life. I saw this play about 8 years ago, which was a much better production. The cast members should have projected the seriousness of the play more professionally. Definitely not worth the $18.

The cast did a good job. The venue was very small. The seats were uncomfortable, and it was stifling it was so hot. At the end of the performance they turned the AC on. Really common. Everyone was uncomfortable. Everyone was talking about it on the way out. I will not go back to that venue.

I enjoyed "Twelve Angry Men". The performance I attended had the director filling in for the actor playing juror #8. He did a fine job. On the whole the cast was very good. A few of the cast could have projected a bit louder and several times some of the actors had their backs to the audience making it difficult to hear them. Two somewhat small complaints overall. A major problem I had was the fact that in order to get to the seats, patrons had to walk directly in front of the stage. Latecomers were allowed to enter well into the performance. I found this to be quite annoying and I'm sure it didn't please the actors. However, this is not a slam against Goldstar or the show itself!

Description

When a teenager from the wrong side of the tracks is on trial for murder, the 12 members of the jury must overcome their own prejudices and assumptions to reach a consensus on his fate. The verdict is nearly unanimous when a single dissenter forces them to face their own prejudices and unite their conflicting personalities to find true justice.

A 19-year-old boy has just stood trial for the fatal stabbing of his father. "He doesn't stand a chance," mutters the guard as the 12 jurors are taken into the bleak jury room. It looks like an open-and-shut case — until one of the jurors begins opening the others' eyes to the facts.

"This is a remarkable thing about democracy," says the foreign-born juror, "that we are notified by mail to come down to this place — and decide on the guilt or innocence of a man, of a man we have not known before. We have nothing to gain or lose by our verdict. We should not make it a personal thing."

But personal it does become, with each juror revealing his or her own character as the various testimonies are re-examined, the murder is re-enacted and a new murder threat is born before their own eyes! Tempers get short, arguments grow heated, and the jurors become 12 angry people. Twelve Angry Men is adapted for the stage by Sherman L. Sergel from the original television show by Reginald Rose.
