GoKash's All African-American Cast Tackles 12 ANGRY MEN Tonight
Ironically parallel to the onset of the George Zimmerman / Trayvon Martin murder trial, GoKash Productions presents a spin on the powerfully captivating courtroom drama 12 ANGRY MEN.
What seems like an open-and-shut murder case becomes a twisted puzzle of prejudice and intrigue. Twelve jurors in a murder trial are corralled in a room for the duration of their deliberation. As prejudices are tested and evidence is weighed, the entire jury is forced to look past the show of the courtroom to unearth the shocking truth. Faced with playing the hangmen, these dozen jurors must first face themselves.
Typically performed with a cast of 12 caucasIan Males, this presentation features a talented Philly based cast of all African-American male and female actors. The production is directed by veteran Ozzie Jones, who has recently established a drama program at Graterford prison comprised of current inmates. The show opens tonight, July 16, 2013. The two-week run presents Tuesdays thru Saturdays at 8:00PM and Sundays at 3:00PM thru July 28th. All Shows will be presented at Plays and Players Theatre (3rd floor studio), 1719 Delancey St. Philadelphia, PA 19103.
