Heralded as one of the
all-time great theatrical releases, "Twelve Angry Men" focuses on a
jury’s deliberations in a capital murder case. A 12-man jury is sent to
begin deliberations in the first-degree murder trial of an 18-year-old
accused in the stabbing death of his father, where a guilty verdict
means an automatic death sentence. The case appears to be open-and-shut—
11 of the jurors immediately vote guilty; only Juror No. 8. casts a not
guilty vote. As the deliberations unfold, the story quickly becomes a
study of the jurors’ complex personalities (which range from wise,
bright and empathetic to arrogant, prejudiced and merciless),
preconceptions, backgrounds and interactions. That provides the backdrop
to Juror No. 8’s attempts in convincing the other jurors that a "not
guilty" verdict might be appropriate.
Audition Dates: June 7 and 8, 2010
