12 ANGRY MEN at Bremerton Community Theatre

Written by Reginald Rose, adapted for the stage by Sherman L. Sergel A 19-year-old man has just stood trial for the fatal stabbing of his father, and a guilty verdict would send him to die in the electric chair. It looks like an open-and-shut case—until one of the jurors begins opening the others' eyes to the facts: "We have nothing to gain or lose by our verdict. We should not make it a personal thing." But personal it does become, with each juror revealing his true character and motivations. Tempers get short, arguments grow heated, and the jurors become 12 angry men. The jurors' final verdict and how they reach it is electrifying theater.
