Twelve Angry Men

A 'guilty' verdict seems a foregone conclusion. But one member of the jury has the will to probe more deeply into the evidence and the courage to confront the ignorance and prejudice of some of his fellow jurors. The conflict which follows is fierce and passionate, cutting straight to the heart of the issues of civil liberties and social justice. This landmark play remains as intriguing and powerful as ever. It is published to coincide with the new production, directed by Harold Pinter, opening at the Comedy Theatre, London, in spring 1996.
