Flat Earth Theatre Presents "Twelve Angry Jurors" April 23, 2009

Adapted for the stage by Sherman L. Sergel and the basis for the 1957 Henry Fonda film 12 Angry Men, the play follows the jury's deliberations in a capital murder trial. A nineteen-year-old kid from the slums stands accused of fatally stabbing his father. The guilty verdict seems inevitable when an initial vote shows eleven to one in favor of conviction. However, the dissent of one juror forces the others to reconsider the evidence and question their preconceived notions about truth and justice.

Performances will be held April 24th, 25th, 30th, May 1st and 2nd at 8 PM with a matinee presented Sunday, April 26th at 2 PM. Additionally, there will be a "Pay-What-You-Can" preview held Thursday, April 23rd at 8 PM. All shows are to be performed in the Arsenal Center for the Arts Black Box Theater located at 321 Arsenal Street, Watertown, MA. Tickets are priced at $15 general admission, $10 for students and seniors. Tickets may be purchased at the door or in advance by calling 800-838-3006 or online through Brown Paper Tickets.

Twelve Angry Jurors is supported in part by a grant from the Watertown Cultural Council, a local agency which is supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency.
