Director: Roger Hart
The Cast of Characters:
Foreman: This character is a small and petty person, who is impressed with the authority they have been given. They handle themselves quite formally and are not overly bright, but dogged.
Juror No. Two: They are a meek and hesitant person who finds it difficult to maintain any opinions of their own. They are easily swayed and usually adopt the opinion of the last person to whom they have spoken.
Juror No. Three: They are a very strong, very forceful, extremely opinionated person within whom can be detected a streak of sadism. Also, they are humorless and intolerant of opinions other than their own, and accustomed to forcing their wishes and
views upon others.
Juror No. Four: They seem to be a person of wealth and position, and a practiced speaker who presents themselves well at all times. They seem to feel a little bit above the rest of the jurors. Their only concern is with the facts in this case, and they are appalled with the behavior of others.
Juror No. Five: They are a naïve, very frightened, young person who takes their obligations in this case very seriously, but who finds it difficult to speak up when their elders have the floor.
Juror No. Six: They are an honest, but dull-witted person, who comes upon their decisions slowly and carefully. They are a person who finds it difficult to create positive opinions, but who must listen to, and digest, and accept those options offered by others which appeal to them most.
Juror No. Seven: They are a loud, flashy, glad-handed, salesperson-type who has more important things to do than to sit on a jury. They are quick to show temper and equally quick to form opinions on things about which they know nothing. They are a bully, and of course, a coward.
Juror No. Eight: This juror is a quiet, thoughtful, gentle person—one who sees all sides of every question and constantly seeks the truth. They are a person of strength tempered with compassion. Above all, they want justice to be done, and will fight to see
that it is.
Juror No. Nine: This juror is a mild, gentle older person, long since defeated by life, and now merely waiting to die. They recognize themselves for what they are and mourn the days when it would have been possible to be courageous without shielding themselves behind their many years.
Juror No. Ten: They are an angry, bitter person who antagonizes almost at sight. They are also a bigot who places no value on any human life, save their own. This is a person who has been nowhere and is going nowhere, and knows it deep within.
Juror No. Eleven: Is a refugee from Europe. They speak with an accent and are ashamed and humble, almost subservient, to the people around them. They will honestly seek justice because they have suffered through so much injustice.
Juror No. Twelve: Is a slick, bright advertising person who thinks of human beings in terms of percentages, graphs and polls, and has no real understanding of people. They are a superficial snob, but attempting to be decent.
Guard: This is a bit part. This character can be any age and wears a uniform.
