Twelve Angry Jurors is an adaptation of the famous movie Twelve Angry Men featuring both male and female roles.
Synopsis:
A 19-year-old man has just stood trial for the fatal stabbing of his father. The 12 jurors are taken into a bleak jury room. It looks like an open-and-shut case-until one of the jurors begins opening the others' eyes to the facts. With each juror revealing his or her own character, as the various testimonies are re-examined, the murder is re-enacted. Tempers get short and arguments grow heated. The jurors' final verdict and how they reach it in tense scenes add up to a fine, mature piece of dramatic literature.
