The national tour of the recent Broadway smash hit Twelve Angry Men, starring Richard Thomas (John Boy on TV’s The Waltons) and George Wendt (Norm on TV’s Cheers), will play Chicago’s LaSalle Bank Theatre Jan. 30-Feb. 11.
In Twelve Angry Men, a young delinquent awaits sentencing for the manslaughter of his aggressive father. Twelve jurors are corralled in a room for their deliberations in a murder trial. One juror feels that there is ‘reasonable doubt’—to the frustration of his eleven colleagues—thereby, preventing a quick verdict. During the heated debate, the hidden preconceptions and assumptions of the jurors are revealed. When faced with playing the hangman, each juror is forced to face himself.
