| Synopsis: |
A Jury is set to begin deliberations in the first degree murder trial of an 18-year old accused in the stabbing death of his father - where a guilty verdict means the death sentence.
11 jurors vote 'guilty' right away, with only one dissenting vote. As the story progresses the juror's complex personalities and biases begin cloud the facts. |

| Characters / Personnage |
| |
1. Foreman - Performer - 25 to 60 - Male / Masculin - Any
Organized man. Attempts to keep control of the room, but to little avail. Easily rattled and a little defensive. |
|
| |
2. Juror #2 - Performer - 25 to 60 - Male / Masculin - Any
Meek and shy. Soft spoken, perhaps a bit naive. Finds it difficult to maintain any opinions of his own. He is easily swayed. Bank teller type. |
|
| |
3. Juror #3 - Performer - 25 to 60 - Male / Masculin - Any
Very strong, forceful, extremely opinionated man within whom one can detect a streak of sadism. Also humourless and intolerant of opinions other than his own. He is accustomed to forcing his views on others. Blue collar worker. |
|
| |
4. Juror #4 - Performer - 25 to 60 - Male / Masculin - Any
Intelligent, professional. Embodies the Type A personality. His education allows a certain degree of pretension and confidence. Well dressed - custome tailored suit. A stock broker type. |
|
| |
5. Juror #5 - Performer - 30 to 35 - Male / Masculin - Any
Mid - 30s, quiet and nervous. Wary of authority. Crawled his way out of the slums to make a respectable life for himself. Relates to the defendant because he comes from a similar background. |
|
| |
6. Juror #6 - Performer - 25 to 60 - Male / Masculin - Any
Blunt, honest, happy to declare his feelings when he feels they are appropriate. Content to listen rather than speak. |
|
| |
7. Juror #7 - Performer - 35 to 45 - Male / Masculin - Any
Mid 30s - mid 40s. Loud and slightly abrasive, extremely anxious to get the deliberation over because his wife has theatre tickets. Laid back, if not a bit of a wise guy. |
|
| |
8. Juror #8 - Performer - 40 to 50 - Male / Masculin - Any
The only juror willing to vote not guilty in the beginning. Reasonable and fair minded, understanding the weight of sentencing a man to death. Feels it's important to talk through all the scenarios. |
|
| |
9. Juror #9 - Performer - 65 to 80 - Male / Masculin - Any
Senior citizen. Retiree. First to give Juror #8 support. Old fashioned and passive, quiet and intelligent but not afraid to speak his mind. |
|
| |
10. Juror #10 - Performer - 40 to 60 - Male / Masculin - Any
An angry, bitter man who antagonizes almost at sight. He is a bigot who places no value on human life. |
|
| |
11. Juror #11 - Performer - 30 to 60 - Male / Masculin - Any
He is an immigrant/refugee. A visible minority. He is smart and eloquent. Honest, well spoken and polite - open to the possibility of the defendant's innocence. |
|
| |
12. Juror #12 - Performer - 25 to 60 - Male / Masculin - Any
Slick, bright advertising exec. A little high-strung and excited about the prospect of a murder case. A but superficial. |
