“Twelve Angry Jurors” presented by Franklin Theatre Fellowship

Franklin Theatre Fellowship presents a gripping production of "Twelve Angry Jurors", the classic drama by Reginald Rose, reimagined for today's audiences. Originally presented in the late 1950’s as a teleplay and Oscar-nominated film, "Twelve Angry Jurors" centers around a diverse group of New Yorkers seated on the jury of a murder trial. A teenage boy from a rough background is up for the death penalty for the murder of his father. As deliberations unfold, we begin to realize that sometimes “the facts can be colored by the personalities of the people who present them.” Oftentimes- justice isn’t blind. The play is a powerful character-study, and as a thought-provoking look at the beauties & flaws of the American democratic process. Through the vision of award-winning director Melanie Sutton, a talented cast of local professional actors brings audiences to the edge of their seats. Frought with tension, suspense, and emotional depth, this is one drama you won't want to miss.
