The production
“In a tiny, sweltering room, twelve jurors sit around a table to decide the fate of a 19 year-old boy who has been charged with the murder of his father in what seems to be an open and shut case. When push comes to shove, one juror stands in defiance against the rest and dissents, arguing for the possibility of the boy’s innocence. One by one we discover that each juror is burdened with memories and prejudices that may taint their perspective. The fate of one boy hangs in the balance as the clock ticks and tensions smolder. Welcome to the jury room. Will you take your seat?”
