An in your face, intimate solo show that brings a familiar courtroom drama to the stage while theatrically weaving other significant jury trials into the forefront.
Inspired by Sidney Lumet's classic film, 12 Angry Men, Emmy Award winning writer/director William Electric Black (aka Ian Ellis James) becomes all 12 jurors in this timely masterpiece - now calling it - 12 ANGRY ELECTRICS.
It's an in your face, intimate solo show that brings a familiar courtroom drama to the stage while theatrically weaving other significant jury trials into the forefront. His riveting opening monologue presents the truth about justice in American that is so often dictated by poverty, police, the courtroom then prison.
