Courtroom thriller Twelve Angry Men is at the Yvonne Arnaud Theatre in Guildford from March 12 to 16.

The cast for this production of Reginald Rose’s gripping story will be Jason Merrells, Tristan Gemmill, Michael Greco, Ben Nealon, Gary Webster, Gray O’Brien, Paul Beech, Samarge Hamilton, Jeffrey Harmer, Mark Heenehan, Kenneth Jay, Paul Lavers, Owen Oldroyd and Adam Phillip Bloom.

Twelve Angry Men has been hailed “the classiest, most intelligent drama playing on the West End”, with two West End seasons at London’s Garrick Theatre starring Martin Shaw followed by Tom Conti. It brings the 1957 three-time Academy Award nominated film, considered one of the great “must-sees” of all time, to the stage.

A jury have murder on their minds and a life in their hands as they decide the fate of a young delinquent accused of killing his father. But what appears to be an open and shut case soon becomes a huge dilemma, as prejudices and preconceived ideas about the accused, the trial and each other turn the tables every which way until the nail-biting climax.
