    Posted: 7/18/11 at 3:05pm
     I am researching plays to produce and direct with my theatre company this fall, and I am interested in finding courtroom /jury dramas, like "12 Angry Men,"" Caine Mutiny," "To Kill a Mockingbird," and other titles. The shows can be serious and tense dramas or a comedic look at a ridiculous court case; I would entertain either one, but I am looking for a cast size between 15 and 25.
     Anybody producing courtrroom dramas or comedies out there? I would be interested to hear of your successful projects or any suggested titles. I did "12 Angry Men" back in 1998, and enjoyed the conflicts and characters put under this kind of theatrical microscope.
Thanks in advance,
Martin

“The Andersonville Trial”

“Witness for the Prosecution”

“Chicago” (the original 1926 play the musical was based on) – It’s all about the legal system and Act III is the trial.

I remember doing one many. many, many years ago that I remember as being pretty darn good: "The Night of January 15th." -- You might want to check it out.

Our group did "Jury Room" last year.  It's very similar to 12 Angry Men.  Minimal set required.

"Witness For the Prosecution" is a good, solid Agatha Christie mystery/thriller that isn't done very often due to its large cast.

The show's called "Night of January 16th."  By Ayn Rand!

I think you're thinking of the prequel.  Wink
