A 19-year-old man has just stood trial for the fatal stabbing of his father. "He doesn't stand a chance," mutters the guard as the 12 jurors are taken into the bleak jury room. It looks like an open-and-shut case—until one of the jurors begins opening the others' eyes to the facts. "This is a remarkable thing about democracy," says the foreign-born juror, "that we are notified by mail to come down to this place—and decide on the guilt or innocence of a person; of a man or woman we have not known before. We have nothing to gain or lose by our verdict. We should not make it a personal thing." But personal it is, with each juror revealing his or her own character as the various testimonies are re-examined, the murder is re-enacted and a new murder threat is born before their eyes. Tempers get short, arguments grow heated, and the group of strangers become 12 angry jurors. The jurors' final verdict and how they reach it add up to a fine, mature piece of dramatic literature. Season: 17 - 19 August 2023 By Tom Wells Directed by Garry Thomas Season: 6 - 15 July 2023

Directed by Garry Thomas Season: 14 - 23 July 2022 Winner of the 2009 Tony Award for Best Play, God of Carnage tells of two married couples who meet for the first time shortly after their respective sons have a schoolyard fight. Michael and Veronica, whose son’s teeth were knocked out, invite Alan and Annette, whose son did the knocking, to their home to settle matters such as who will pay for new teeth. But any attempt at having a civilised discussion as to whose child is responsible for the fight, and how the parents may have influenced such destructive behaviour, quickly devolves into finger-pointing, name-calling, stomping around and throwing things. And that’s before they break out the alcohol! Cast: Wesley van Gelderen as Michael Novak Sarah Coursey as Veronice Novak Caroline Baker as Annette Raleigh Paul Johnson as Alan Raleigh
