Was he guilty or not guilty?
That was the question,
The question they needed to answer.
As they discussed it
They spoke about the trial
And eleven of them said guilty,
But one said not guilty.
And a wonderful evening was produced
Bringing the play to life
As they discussed, argued and shouted.
Such a wonderful play
Drawing me into it
With such fine acting.
I had seen the film
Which was one of my top films,
But the play I had never seen
And I was totally impressed,
Impressed by the way,
The way it showed the story,
By the Twelve Angry Men on stage.

Good write Gold. we get trash like - not 'I'm Home, Dear' but: 'I'm Dear, Home!' So-called comedy which I will never see.
Thanks Orchi.
Have seen the film too with Henry Fonda a classic and one of the best dramas done. Never seen the play either and so glad you had the opportunity and had a good time. Nicely written Andy

Yes there's something about seeing a Play. It's not a TV Screen your looking at. Or Cinema Screen: But it's Live, Happening in front of you.
As if you are there in the Room.
Good Write.
So true Kevin, we have seen many plays and enjoyed them all.
Andy
A wonderful reflection! You captured the excitement of the live performance beautifully. Twelve Angry Men reminds us how powerful one voice can be when it dares to challenge the majority.
thank you rr very much appreciated.
