Just one vote can stand between guilt and innocence.
That's the twisted puzzle of prejudice and intrigue at play in the Maltz Jupiter Theatre's season opener Twelve Angry Men, a suspenseful courtroom drama about the effect one voice can have on a jury.The production, set in 1950s post-war America, follows the case of a young man accused of murder and the twelve jurors corralled in a room for the duration of their deliberation. As justice is tested and evidence weighed, the men are forced to look past the show of the courtroom to unearth the shocking truth.The Maltz Jupiter Theatre's production of Twelve Angry Men will run Nov. 2-14. The play will be directed by a special guest: Chicago's Frank Galati, who won two Tony Awards for his adaptation and direction of Steppenwolf Theatre's production of The Grapes of Wrath on Broadway."Frank Galati is known nationally for his direction of epic plays and musicals, and we are so lucky that he will be bringing his powerful style to the Maltz Jupiter Theatre," said Andrew Kato, the Theatre's artistic director. "Twelve Angry Men is a timeless masterpiece and incredible examination of our judicial process."Videos
