Twelve Angry Men by Reginald Rose

The Story

If the whole world said that the earth is square, can you dare to be Galileo？
If everyone believes that Qin Shi Huang is a good emperor, does history need to be rewrite?

If in between 12 people, there are eleven recognized you kill someone, then do you really are a murderer?

12 jurors bound by the acceptance of their civic duty and thrust together into a hot, humid room to deliberate the guilt or innocence of a boy accused of killing his father in a moment of rage. Initially, only one juror is not certain beyond a reasonable doubt that the young man is guilty, and must convince his peers to evaluate the matter beyond their initial emotion-based judgments.

Critics

“12 Angry Men” was made into a black-and-white film in 1957, featuring Henry Fonda, and it was a blockbuster hit that received four Oscar nominations. In 1997, a remake in color, featuring Jack Lemmon, was directed by the Oscar awarded William Friedkin.

“Twelve Angry Men reflects a rational philosophical debate about a murder case. We applaud this repertoire choice of Theatre Space.” In Theatre Boundless by Cheung Ping Kuen

“A dense and intense play, very entertaining indeed, full of excitement with fierce discussions, which are vivid and humourous. The most important is how it reflects the spirit of modern legal principles, that is, ‘more debate leads to a clearer truth’, and ‘no conviction, if there is any resonable doubt’.” In Ming Pao by Sek Kei
