Boise Little Theatre Continues Season With TWELVE ANGRY MEN And FOOL
The Boise Little Theater's 2009-2010 season continues with TWELVE ANGRY MEN and CHAPTER TWO.
TWELVE ANGRY MEN, adapted by Sherman Sergel and based on the Emmy award-winning television movie by Reginald Rose, will be directed by David Mendes Priest.The show follows a 19-year-old man who has just stood trial for the fatal stabbing of his father. "He doesn't stand a chance," mutters the guard as the 12 jurors are taken into the bleak jury room. It looks like an open-and-shut case-until one of the jurors begins opening the others' eyes to the facts. "This is a remarkable thing about democracy," says the foreign-born juror, "that we are notified by mail to come down to this place-and decide upon the guilt or innocence of a man; of a man we have not known before. We have nothing to gain or lose by our verdict. We should not make it a personal thing." But personal it does become, with each juror revealing his own character as the various testimonies are re-examined and the murder is re-enacted. Tempers get short, arguments grow heated , and the jurors become 12 angry men.
