12 Angry Jurors, based on the 1954 teleplay '12 Angry Men' by Reginald Rose and adapted for film in 1957, tells the story of 12 jurors charged with the unenviable task of deciding a young man’s fate. Accused of brutally murdering his father, the young man’s life hangs in the balance as a jury of his peers battle reasonable doubt, prejudice, and their own morality in a cramped, overheated deliberation room. Tempers flare as the reality of a death sentence weighs on the minds of these 12 strangers, the life or death of the accused foisted upon them. Guilty or not guilty. Life or death. Freedom or condemnation. Each juror must vote. Presented on a thrust style stage, the audience is invited into the cloistered walls of the jury room to make the decision for themselves. Where does one look to tell if a man is truly guilty?
*The entrance to the Turner Studio is on S. Limestone Street across from the YMCA. Please park in Clark State's South Limestone parking lot across from the Hollenbeck Bayley Creative Arts Conference Center.
