A riveting jury-room drama, staged in-the-round.  A dozen women are locked in the pressure-cooker of a jury-room, with the task of determining the fate of a young man on trial for murder.  It’s literally a life-or-death decision, and it turns on the stab of a switch-blade.  Appropriate in a time of simplistic populist thinking, the play works on doubt, on questioning of apparent ‘facts’: What does it take for individuals to stand against the sway of the majority, and exercise rational judgement?
