12 Angry Men
Over the course of a steamy and tense afternoon, twelve jurors
deliberate the fate of a 19 year-old boy alleged to have murdered his
own father. A guilty verdict seems a foregone conclusion, but one
member of the jury has the will to probe more deeply into the
evidence and the courage to confront some of his fellow jurors. A
seemingly open and shut case turns complicated, igniting passions and
hidden prejudice which cut straight to the heart of the issues of
civil liberties and social justice. When faced with playing the
hangman, each juror is ultimately forced to face himself. 8pm.
Tickets: f25/18. Box Office: 4501673. Everyman Palace Theatre,
