All-star cast to deliver a nail biting courtroom drama

The Belgrade Theatre will raise the curtain on Olivier Award Winners and Golden Globe nominees as it welcomed the touring drama.

After a record-breaking run in the West End, the popular play will run in Coventry from February 9 to 13 and see Tom Conti take on the role of Juror Number 8.

He will be joined on stage by Andrew Lancel- best known for playing villainous businessman Frank Foster in Coronation Street- Robert Duncan Andrew Frame, David Calvitto, Mark Carter, Sean Power and Jon Carver.

Lauded as one of the great ‘must-see’ movies of all time, Reginald Rose’s story originated as a television play and has since been successfully adapted for film, radio and stage.

It follows the deliberations of 12 jurors who have a murder on their minds and a life in their hands as they decide the fate of a young delinquent accused of killing his father. 

But what appears to be an open and shut case soon becomes a dilemma as their prejudices about the accused, the trial and each other turn the tables every which way..
