The Jury Room
C B. Gilford
Defeated for re-election as District Attorney, Paul Biegler isn't looking forward to becoming a defense attorney, but his first case is sensational: a lieutenant is accused of murdering the bartender who allegedly raped his wife.
It's a high-stakes battle of wit and determination, as Biegler uses every device to save the officer's neck.
"Touching on home truths about justice and the law […] most audiences […] may overpraise it because it reminds them of older, better movies. Wouldn’t it be lovely to see a modern version of […] (a much sturdier small-town courtroom drama) Anatomy of a Murder?" - Time Magazine"Anatomy of a Murder […] a riveting thriller." - What’s On Stage"The production is gripping […] characters hurl witty insults at each other during the court case scenes […] performance ends brilliantly." - The Stage"Elihu Winer’s explosive courtroom drama, Anatomy of a Murder […] Based on the bestseller turned into the critically acclaimed film starring James Stewart, Ben Gazzara, and Lee Remick."
