12 Angry Men, Reginald Rose’s 1954 teleplay-turned-stage play, tells a story so universal, it feels timeless. Set in the deliberation room as a group of jurors tries to land on a verdict in a homicide case, the play has been staged in theaters from Broadway to Northern Virginia’s American Century Theater, which first produced it in its 1995 debut season.
