Twelve Angry Men by Reginald Rose (English) Paperback Book

Description: Twelve Angry Men by Reginald Rose, Steven Price Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description The Methuen Drama Student Edition of Twelve Angry Men is the first critical edition of Reginald Roses play, providing the play text alongside commentary and notes geared towards student readers.In New York, 1954, a man is dead and the life of another is at stake. A guilty verdict seems a foregone conclusion, but one member of the jury has the will to probe more deeply into the evidence and the courage to confront the ignorance and prejudice of some of his fellow jurors. The conflict that follows is fierce and passionate, cutting straight to the heart of the issues of civil liberties and social justice.Ideal for the student reader, the accompanying pedagogical notes include elements such as an author chronology; plot summary; suggested further reading; explanatory endnotes; and questions for further study. The introduction discusses in detail the plays origins as a 1954 American television play, Roses re-working of the piece for the stage, and Lumets 1957 film version, identifying textual variations between these versions and discussing later significant productions.The commentary also situates the play in relation to the genre of courtroom drama, as a milestone in the development of televised drama, and as an engagement with questions of American individualism and democracy.Together, this provides students with an edition that situates the play in its contemporary social and dramatic contexts, while encouraging reflection on its wider thematic implications.
