Twelve Angry Men: drama by Reginald Rose



 This vital courtroom drama (which features the jury deliberations in a murder case) highlights the necessity of examining  facts from more than one perspective and shows how, when exposed to another, more persuasive opinion, we can be swayed in what we think/believe to be true. The 12 jurors in the play have to examine and discuss the facts of the case and come to a unanimous decision because a young man's life is at stake. 

Verdict; thoughtful, insightful and important piece of work. Suitable for study in the classroom at Junior Level although bad language and blasphemy are present in the text.
