12 Angry Men


Just picked up a couple of tickets for a performance this weekend. Some friends have told me that it's been somewhat updated and was a fine production. We'll see on Saturday.

Here's a link to a preview in the Houston Chronicle.

and a synopsis

Twelve Angry Men
Feb. 13-25, 2007
Sarofim Hall (Hobby Center)
THE GREATEST COURTROOM DRAMA OF ALL TIME!

Twelve Jurors. Twelve walks of life. And only two ways to rule: guilty or not guilty. What seems like an open-and-shut murder case becomes a twisted puzzle of prejudice and intrigue. Twelve Jurors in a murder trial are corralled in a room for the duration of their deliberation. As prejudices are tested and evidence weighed, the entire jury is forced to look past the show of the courtroom to unearth the shocking truth. Faced with playing the hangmen, these dozen men must first face themselves. Starring Richard Thomas and George Wendt and directed by Scott Ellis, the National Tour of TWELVE ANGRY MEN is produced by Roundabout Theatre Company, one of the country’s leading not-for-profit theatres.
