Overview

In a small New York City jury room, on “the hottest day of the year,” twelve men debate the fate of a young defendant charged with murdering his father. In form, Twelve Angry Men: A Musical is a courtroom drama; in purpose, it’s a crash course in those passages of the U.S. Constitution that promise defendants a fair trial and the presumption of innocence.
