The playwright Reginald Rose was the first to look into the room where the jury conferred before the sentencing.
The young man is accused of murder. All the facts of the investigation confirm his guilt. Only a jury trial can finally endorse the death penalty ... The 12 juries, locked in the room after the trial, decide the fate of the person. They do not yet know that for themselves this room will become not the purgatory, not the vestibule of the Last Judgment. Everyone is ready to agree with the verdict "guilty" and send the defendant to the next world ... However, there is a "wise man" who believes that "it would be nice to sort things out." This is where the real drama begins.
Which is better - to condemn the innocent or to justify the offender?
Each juror must ask such a question.
They must decide on the fate of a young guy from a poor family.
He is accused of murdering his father, and he does not plead guilty. Could he have committed this terrible crime?
How little time! And you need to understand in detail the testimony of witnesses. Neighbors do not cause trust. Some of them could be mistaken.
Men fiercely argue, even shout at each other.
It is extremely difficult to come to a single point of view - they are too different in age, education, life experience and character.
The performance amazes with the heat of passion and excellent acting.
Twelve pieces of paper, twelve chances to kill a man ... Or save?
“ It's just a MASTERPIECE !!!! like ALL in this theater !!!!! Kalinichev fellow)))))
“ The performance is wonderful! The performance of the actors is excellent, the performance looks all in one breath. The impression was clouded by one-very cold in the auditorium. It is very uncomfortable to be in it. After the performance, they could not keep warm for a long time
“ Were on March 19 with his wife. Theater: very cozy, quiet, some kind of home. We really enjoyed. Now, impressions about the play. Actors play just cool, we want to say: "Guys, thank you very much for those emotions that we received thanks to you!" And even the fact that the plot was known did not spoil the impression of the play. Who was not - always go. Thank you!
“ The performance from the first looks boring and prolonged. A lot of unnecessary episodes in which there is no point. I'm going to this performance to see the game of Mikhailov - the most brilliant character, which, by the way, keeps the meaning of the play. You will not get emotions at this performance.
“ We fell in love with the theater team, did not disappoint us again! 12 men, 12 jury judges are 12 different personalities played by our actors. And the idea is simple: fight for honesty and justice, never drop your hands and the truth will be on your side. Bravo! Well done!
“ Were on January 18 at the play. In our opinion, the production and playing of actors is much brighter, more expressive and more interesting than the film adaptation of the 60s. 2 years visit the performances of the New Drama Theater and in most cases we are satisfied with the performance of the actors. Unfortunately, young actors periodically speak very quietly, or very quickly, it turns out some patter. It does not give pleasure. Also in the theater there are problems with ventilation. It's stuffy .... BUT! We recommend to go to this play. We really enjoyed!
“ Pleased with the diversity of the cast and the atmosphere. "12 angry" gives a chance to see the rest of the productions. Thank you
“ "12 angry men"! I'm very glad that I got, and it's better late than never! Knowing the story perfectly, I could not take my eyes off the stage and the actors' game, trying to keep track of everyone ..... The play was for many years, but the power from him was just plain crazy! A minimum of scenery, a maximum of magnificent acting and crazy drive, the actors received a huge buzz from what they were doing on stage, people who just serve their number and say their cues at the right time - it was NOT! I had a feeling that this was the year of the premiere for the play, and not the second ten. To all who have not seen, go and see, I think you will not regret! Do not be afraid of some remoteness of the theater, it's not the most important thing for me, it's not important for me, if I'm very warm and comfortable, the distances for me do not exist .... And I was struck by the atmosphere in the foyer of the theater - warm and at home , all met as dear, loved ones and loved ones, who have not been seen for a long time. Emotions are simply prohibitive, as if you are rolling down from a high hill and the speed is more and more, the action is increasing and you again can not take your eyes off the stage! There are things that you can watch endlessly, and for me, this is a great acting game! The puzzle consisting of 12 pieces was collected, 12 masterpieces, 12 different roles and chic actors, each of which is magnificent! Such a performance can be reviewed again and again !!! Join us !!!!!
“ Almost every person probably knows the feeling of first and pure love!)))) My love for the New Theater began precisely with this performance ....... "12 angry men" !!))) And it was after him that my I admire the talent of great actors to whom I simply can not come without flowers!)))) They are so different, unique, unique, convincing and simply brilliant !!)))) Roman Breev and Mikhail Kalinichev, of course!)))) From the Tenth and Eighth, again, it is impossible to tear off the eye, anti odes for everything: in behavior, in relation to life and human feelings, "ice and flame" ....))))), but they are united by high professionalism and skill, the ability to keep the viewer's attention on themselves and not let it go. ..)))) Yesterday was another, 7th (!!!) performance !!!!)))) And how wrong are those who come once and all !!))))) Another one unique, piece and moments madly ridiculous performance!))) Each of the 12 angry deserves a lot of laudatory words, EVERYBODY! Because they add new touches to their role, making it interesting for the audience!))))) THANKS TO ALL THE HUGEEST !!!! Another enchanting performance, which I need all the time and without which I am terribly bored ....)))))) # 12 angry muzhchin # detective story # favorite show # mndt
