Kevin M Mullins

Kevin, Jake, Sarah, Coriana and the entire FlatEarthTheatre group are preparing their next show which is an adaptation of the play Twelve Angry Men that is recast as Twelve Angry Jurors which is the Reginald Rose’s classic courtroom drama.

Adapted for the stage by Sherman L. Seagel 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 at the Arsenal Center for the Arts on 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.
