A landmark American drama that inspired a classic film and a Broadway revival—featuring an introduction by David Mamet
A blistering character study and an examination of the American melting pot and the judicial system that keeps it in check, Twelve Angry Men holds at its core a deeply patriotic faith in the U.S. legal system. The play centers on Juror Eight, who is at first the sole holdout in an 11-1 guilty vote. Eight sets his sights not on proving the other jurors wrong but rather on getting them to look at the situation in a clear-eyed way not affected by their personal prejudices or biases. Reginald Rose deliberately and carefully peels away the layers of artifice from the men and allows a fuller picture to form of them—and of America, at its best and worst.
After the critically acclaimed teleplay aired in 1954, this landmark American drama went on to become a cinematic masterpiece in 1957 starring Henry Fonda, for which Rose wrote the adaptation. More recently, Twelve Angry Men had a successful, and award-winning, run on Broadway.

I bought this for my book club, but honestly, it didn't resonate with me. The new condition was nice, but the pacing felt off. Just not for everyone, I guess!

Engaging and Thought-Provoking!
'Twelve Angry Men' is such a powerful story! I loved how it delved into the jury's deliberation. The Penguin Classics version is pristine, making it even better to read. Definitely a worthwhile addition to any library!

A Timeless Play
This play is still relevant today, and I really appreciated how well the Penguin Classics edition highlights its significance. The new condition was great too! Can't believe I waited so long to read it.

Interesting yet Slow Start
This classic has profound themes but took a bit to get hooked. The Penguin edition was brand new, and I'm glad I got it. Would've loved a bit more character depth in the beginning!
