12 Angry Men

You probably know the story of Reginald Rose’s oft-staged classic: Twelve jurors—traditionally all white—are tasked with deciding the guilt or innocence of a Black youth accused of murder. Only one juror is unconvinced of the child’s guilt, and he’ll spend the play’s duration attempting to sway his colleagues, in turn exposing their inherent biases. Nearly 70 years after it was written, Twelve Angry Men remains both a crackling piece of stagecraft and a paean to how our judicial system is supposed to work.
