Following several sold-out performances since it opened in November 2013, Bill Kenwright's critically acclaimed new West End production of TWELVE ANGRY MEN, starring Martin Shaw, Jeff Fahey, Nick Moran and Robert Vaughn, will extend its run at the Garrick Theatre for an extra two weeks, finishing 15 March 2014.

Written by Reginald Rose, this brand new production directed by Christopher Haydon pays tribute to the Academy Award nominated 1957 film which was produced by and starred Henry Fonda. Lauded as one of the great 'must-see' movies of all time, Twelve Angry Men originated as a television play and has been successfully adapted for film, radio and stage.

Twelve jurors have murder on their minds and a life in their hands as they decide the fate of a young delinquent accused of killing his father. But what appears to be an open and shut case soon becomes a dilemma for the twelve, as their prejudices and preconceived ideas about the accused, the trial and each other turn the tables every which way, until the nail-biting climax...

Martin Shaw's most recent West End appearances were in the highly acclaimed The Country Girl and A Man for All Seasons. On TV Martin is best known for starring in the multi-award-winning BBC drama Judge John Deed and more recently Inspector George Gently, which will return this autumn on BBC One with four brand new feature length films. His role in the seminal series The Professionals ensured his status as a much-loved British TV icon. Martin Shaw stars as Juror #8, the role made famous by Henry Fonda.

Robert Vaughn has starred in some of the greatest film classics of the 20th century including his Oscar-nominated performance in The City Jungle and in three films opposite Steve McQueen in The Magnificent Seven, The Towering Inferno and Bullitt.

Robert Vaughn stars as Juror #9, Joseph Sweeney's role in the original film.

Jeff Fahey has starred in many indie classics including the title role in the cult sci-fi hit The Lawnmower Man opposite Pierce Brosnan, Roberto Rodriguez's Machete, and Quentin Tarantino's Grindhouse. Other films include Clint Eastwood's White Hunter Black Heart, Darkman, and Silverado and Wyatt Earp both with Kevin Costner. Fahey's extensive television career includes playing the title role in The Marshal and most recently the hit series Lost in which he played helicopter pilot, Frank Lapidus.
