with Jack Klugman
It’s a case of life and death.
Before there was Law and Order, Perry Mason or Matlock – there was Twelve Angry Men.
The landmark television drama, turned major motion picture and Broadway blockbuster, begins as twelve men enter an airless jury room on a blistering summer day. Their task is to return a verdict against an inner-city youth charged with the murder of his father, where a guilty vote equals a mandatory death sentence. With testimony from two witnesses, their deliberations should be brisk – until one lone Juror lights the fuse that will make this “open and shut case” explode like a stick of dynamite.
Three-time Emmy Award winner and Tony nominee JACK KLUGMAN – who is the last living cast member from the 1957 movie of Twelve Angry Men, then playing the young “Juror 5” -- will be returning to the stage at George Street Playhouse to star in the play, now cast as the eldest of the twelve, “Juror 9”. |
