Twelve Angry Men

TWELVE ANGRY MEN
Directed by Joel Karpoff

A 19-year-old man has just stood trial for the fatal stabbing of his father. It looks like an open-and-shut caseuntil one of the jurors begins opening the others' eyes to the facts. "This is a remarkable thing about democracy," says the foreign-born juror, "that we are notified by mail to come down to this placeand decide on the guilt or innocence of a person; of a man or woman we have not known before. We have nothing to gain or lose by our verdict. We should not make it a personal thing." But personal it is, with each juror revealing his own character as the various testimonies are re-examined, the murder is re-enacted and a new murder threat is born before their eyes! Tempers get short, arguments grow heated, and the jurors become 12 angry men.

Performances will take place at Shrub Oak United Methodist Churchs Parish Hall. The Parish Hall is the white one-story building behind the stone church at 1176 East Main Street, Shrub Oak, NY 10588 May 4, 5, 6, 11, 12 and 13, 2018. For information go to www.YCPTW.org.
