“... as lyrical as it is incisive”
– The Straits Times, Corrie Tan on Twelve Angry Men (2013)
A verdict that decides life or death. A clash of prejudice and justice.
An intense midnight quarrel leads to the murder of a man. Witnesses take the stand as his 16-year-old son is tried for homicide. With all testimonies against the boy, his fate now hangs by a thread, as 12 jurors find themselves in the throes of rendering the final verdict.
In the stifling heat of the jury room, 12 personalities clash in a bout of logic and intuition, reason and conscience. Caught between conflicting obsessions and prejudices, will the jurors emerge as defenders of justice, or are they destined to become hangmen?
Adapted by Reginald Rose from his 1954 teleplay of the same name, Twelve Angry Men—translated and directed by Nelson Chia—takes audiences deep into the tensions of this compelling courtroom drama classic, as 12 jurors grapple to reach a unanimous decision.

In 2013, Esplanade commissioned Nine Years Theatre to stage this iconic play for Huayi – Chinese Festival of Arts. The production was a stunning success, with all four performances sold out. It then went on to win four awards at the 14th Life! Theatre Awards—Best Director, Best Ensemble, Best Supporting Actor, and Best Set Design.
12 years later, Nine Years Theatre revisits this classic with a new cast of 12 actors from diverse backgrounds—established actor and host Danny Yeo, Tay Kong Hui from the original cast, veteran Mediacorp actor Wu Wei Qiang, and other talented actors including Oliver Pang, Dwayne Lau, Tang Shaowei, Timothy Wan, Tan Guo Lian Sutton, Ryan Ang, Clement Yeo, Pauli Haakenson, and Vester Ng—each bringing a distinct voice and perspective to this timeless tale of consensus, conflict and conscience.
Presented by Esplanade and co-produced with Nine Years Theatre, Twelve Angry Men returns to the stage—still powerful, provocative and utterly gripping.

“久违了‘剧力万钧’的观剧体验，在《十二怒汉》里有了可喜的收获”
– 联合早报，新加坡文华奖得主韩劳达 2013年于九年剧场《十二怒汉》的剧评
一场决定生死的裁决，一场关乎偏见与正义的较量。
午夜时分，一场争执过后，有人亲眼目睹一名十六岁的男孩杀死了他的父亲。男孩被控一级谋杀，而所有证据皆显示了他就是凶手。十二名陪审员被赋予决定被告命运的重任。一场逻辑与直觉、理性与良知的辩论随即展开……
闷热的陪审室里，十二个人物展现了十二种性格、十二个立场蕴藏了十二种执着、十二个理由暗示了十二种偏见。他们将是正义的使者，或是天生的刽子手？
由原作 Reginald Rose 执笔，改编自他 1954 年的同名电视剧，《十二怒汉》由谢燊杰翻译与执导。这部经典法庭剧将观众带入充满张力的辩论现场，在激烈的交锋中见证众人如何挣扎达成共识，捍卫人性的正义。
