12 Mo' Angry Men at Teatro Latea

An Unflinching reimagination of "12 Angry Men," is set to make its Off Off Broadway debut.

October 26, 29, and 30, 2021, "12 Mo' Angry Men," written and directed by TaNisha Fordham is set for a breakout premiere at LaTea Theater  "12 Mo' Angry Men," the story of 11 black jurors and 1 white juror, deliberating on the guilt or innocence of a white police officer who shot and killed a black teen, is the new and timely reimagining of "12 Angry Men," a breakout 1954 (play)/1957 (film) by Reginald Rose.

Written and directed by TaNisha Fordham (co-producer of the 2018 Oscar Nominated, "My Nephew Emmett,") and produced by Enlightened Visions the production was a part of Fordham's continual attempt at curating art as resistance.

"12 Mo' Angry Men,"  was written at the height of the 2020 civil unrest that happened in the wake of the murder of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, and Breonna Taylor, as well as the dawn of the COVID pandemic. Through, "12 Mo,'" Fordham explores the many themes with which so many of us constantly wrestle: identity, religion, health and wellness, politics, mental health, how we address national/international crisis, policing policies (particularly in minority and underrepresented communities), and the American system of justice.

With a cast of colorful characters --  15 men and women -- all extreme personalities, all outspoken (or decidedly muted), and all unabashedly authentic, this 1 hour and 15 minute long production is quick-paced and packed to the brim.
