The father of all courtroom dramas, Twelve Angry Men is an unflinching look at a jury deciding the guilt or innocence of a 19-year-old accused of fatally stabbing his father. The stakes are further raised by the knowledge that a guilty verdict will mean an automatic death sentence. What appears to be an open-and-shut case quickly explodes into a tense fight among the twelve men as they struggle to decide the ultimate fate of the accused. Rose’s script won the 2005 Tony* Award for Best Revival of a Play.
