Twelve Angry Men is a 60-minute courtroom drama performed by Tower House School at the Upper Theatre (Thrust), Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Twelve strangers locked in a jury room on a sweltering day must decide the fate of a young man accused of murder.

Why see this show?
A tightly written drama of justice, prejudice and moral courage brought to life in the intimate thrust configuration of the Upper Theatre. Gripping storytelling that holds its tension right to the verdict.
