It has been a long time since we have seen a courtroom
drama done well upon the Denver stage. "Twelve Angry Men" is the exception.
Director Linda N. Suttle has taken a play, which in
less gifted hands might have dissolved into a chaotic blur and has instead
created
a balanced production whose core concept is always
lucidly in crystal clear focus. The sensitively crafted blocking has the
miraculous sense
of being purely random and utterly natural. ... The
openness of the scenic design gives us a simple room with a long mahogany
table. There is a
cutaway restroom adjacent which gives us partial view
of the cast as they wash up and splash water on their faces to cool off
in brief respite
from the sweltering jury room. The lighting design
is beautifully executed by Brian Miller.
