Town & Country Players Presents 12 Angry Jurors

On the weekend of June 19th and 20th grab your lawn chairs or blankets and head over to Hansell Park in Buckingham Township to enjoy what director, Andy McPhee, calls “one of the finest dramas ever written,” 12 Angry Jurors.

12 Angry Jurors tells the story of twelve jurors who must decide the fate of a 19-year-old man accused of murdering his father. The jury votes 11-1 that the man is guilty of the crime, but laws in the United States require a unanimous vote by all twelve jurors to pass judgment. The play brings the audience into the courtroom to watch the emotional and challenging deliberations in this high-stakes trial. McPhee explains that the jurors represent a microcosm of society and while the play was originally produced in the 1950’s, the jurors grapple with many of the same kinds of issues we continue to face today.
