"Such a great, classic play - still so poignant and relevant all this time later. We haven't come very far and lately we seem to be regressing and reading this just confirmed it. I want to direct this one... But definitely with challenges, as you have 12 people on stage all the show. Hmmm...could be a spring show!!"

    " Brilliant play, brilliantly acted, brilliantly written. And still timely. A jury debates the guilt of the accused. The accused is one of 'them', so he should be convicted. Or should he? Read or listen - and then re-think who 'them' are. "

    " This is a screenplay. Pretty cool. I enjoyed reading it because it's so short. I was amazed that I finished a book in like 3 days. I liked it though. I'm pretty interested in crime/law so it held my interest throughout. "

    " Because the entire play is set in one room, you could imagine that it might get boring after a while. However, Reginald Rose masterfully kept me entertained creating clear and recognizable characters. A very good Play indeed "

    " While not the right version, I am constantly amazed at the skill of writing an argument out between twelve people, and how one voice of dissent can cause a group to reconsider. A powerful work, well-done in the movie with Peter Fonda, but best read first. "

    " I liked the premise and idea, but to me it all seemed a little bit contrived. I know it was written to be performed in an hour, but I was unsatisified with the lack-luster ending that did not live up to the play's initial promise. Very interesting concept, but not enough payout. "

    " At first, I found it hard to differentiate between characters but Rose found a way to give each character his own voice and style of speaking, which made it easy to get used to them. All in all a good story with a good message, if you keep in mind when it was written. "
