Die 12 Geschworenen - Premiere

Description

BY REGINALD ROSE
DIRECTOR: MARTIN BEETZ A 16-year-old boy is accused of murdering his father. The trial clearly points to one verdict: guilty. Now it's up to the 12 jurors to confirm the verdict unanimously.
This is the premise for the play "The Twelve Angry Men" by Reginald Rose from 1954, famous for the 1957 film adaptation with Henry Fonda.
The twelve do their job but all want to go home and close the case as quickly as possible. However, one juror has doubts. One might think this play had its roots in the past, but against the backdrop of current societal and geopolitical developments, it becomes clear that topics like racism, prejudice, and dealing with minorities are central. Do we still communicate today, and if so, on what level, and is there genuine listening? How quick are we to make snap judgments and stereotypes? Do arguments still have an effect today, or is the search for truth guided by what is easier to believe and/or do I follow the opinion that is voiced the loudest? "Still a relevant classic"
