Twelve Angry Men production at Yvonne Arnaud Theatre

The Yvonne Arnaud Theatre is hosting a production of Reginald Rose’s classic drama, ‘Twelve Angry Men’. Set in 1950s New York, the play follows twelve jurors deliberating the fate of an 18-year-old accused of killing his father.

The production explores themes of prejudice, moral positioning, and the presumption of innocence. As the jurors navigate a heated deliberation in a sweltering room, the tension rises from an initial 11-1 vote for guilt toward a critical examination of the evidence. Performances noted include Gray O’Brien as Juror 8, who challenges the consensus, and Bill Ward as Juror 3, portraying a man driven by personal guilt.
