An explosive battle over a youth’s life takes place in a claustrophobic 1950s jury room.  Pacific Theatre presents a staged reading of a feverish legal drama in which a dozen men’s prejudices and idiosyncrasies reveal themselves in a polyphonic blitzkrieg of integrity and wit.

Directed by Ian Farthing and starring Ron Reed, Michael Kopsa, Allen des Noyers, Tim Dixon, and Kerry van der Griend, audiences will be on the edge of their seats for ninety spine-chilling minutes as one youth’s fate is masterfully tossed among twelve angry men. Staged reading – five performances only!

“Crackling, short-fused – the actors don't so much deliberate as detonate. Is this any way to run a justice system? On a stage, it is!” –Washington Post

“Exhilarating! An absorbing theatrical experience.” –Associated Press
