uilty or not guilty? You, the audience, will go on the journey with the cast of “12 Angry Jurors” as they decide the fate of a man charged with premeditated murder and facing the death penalty. If you go with not guilty, you could be setting a killer free. If it’s guilty, you might be sending an innocent man to his death. “So which way do we fall?” said Rebecca Hanson, theater arts director at Island School. “The way that it’s written, it’s very captivating. That’s what draws you in. How would you decide, based on the evidence that’s being told to you during conversation?” Based on a 1957 film “12 Angry
Men,” the drama follows the jury as they debate, argue, persuade and consider the testimony and evidence presented in the courtroom. Eleven quickly decide the suspect is guilty. But one holds out, thus setting off an intimate, revealing look at how these jurors stay the course or change their initial view. The play, nearly three months in the works, opens at 7 tonight at Island School, with shows also at 7 p.m. Saturday and 4 p.m. Sunday. Tickets are $6 in advance at the school’s main office and $8 at the door. The 80-minute play has but one setting, a barren room with the jurors seated at tables. There are no big action scenes, no crazy
