Twelve jurors are sent to deliberate a murder trial. They must come to a unanimous vote before they can return to their lives outside the jury room. They all come with their own preconceived notions and biases that affect deliberations. As they reexamine the case and evidence, tensions rise, and their prejudices become the driving forces of heated exchanges. The play examines due process, the concept of a fair trial, and the great responsibility that lies with those given the charge to decide.
