This is the start of the powerful and thought-provoking drama 12 Angry Men. Written by Reginald Rose, the film was released in 1957 starring legendary Hollywood actor Henry Fonda. The plotline revolves around a jury made up of 12 men as they deliberate the guilt or acquittal of a defendant on the basis of reasonable doubt.

After almost sixty years, the story is still a classic and watched by people across North America. This summer, Beijing's Charity Readers Theatre is bringing the story to China with a one-time stage performance.

The play is directed by Chris Verill.
