About Twelve Angry Jurors
What happens when justice is jeopardized by racism? In Reginald Rose's Twelve Angry Jurors, eleven citizens are convinced of an accused murderer's guilt, but one holdout convinces them to examine their consciences — and their unacknowledged prejudices. How often does the judicial system fail because of bias? How often is it derailed by an unfair balance of power? How often in our own lives do we miss the truth because of our preconceived ideas? Twelve Angry Jurors explores, in gripping fashion, questions that have been at the center of the human experience for millennia, are as timely as they are timeless.
