Twelve Angry Men (Acting Edition S.) (Audio Theatre Collection) (Film Scripts)

by Reginald Rose

Professor David Mamet (Introduction) and David Mamet (Introduction)

A young delinquent is on trial for the murder of his aggressive father. The judge has directed the jury to find the boy guilty if there is no reasonable doubt. Eleven of the jurors declare there is no reasonable doubt, but one of them, while far from convinced of the boy's innocence, feels that some of the evidence against him has been ambiguous. At the end of a long afternoon he wins, all the others round to his view.

Reviews

[Whitney @ First Impressions Reviews]

First Impressions
After watching Making a Murderer, a play about a jury debating the innocence of a juvenile being tried for murder seemed appropriate.


Impressions While Reading


It a first seemed like a simple story but it was anything but and the tensions the bounced from one to another kept the listener in suspense to learn the verdict.


Final Impressions


Twelve Angry Men was satisfying and had you questioning the boy's innocence but I thought it ended abruptly and thus the conclusion was not fulfilling.


Impressions on Narration


The narration was in play form and thought it added to the banter that ensured in the jury box. It kept me on my toes and liked the quick pace it provided.
