Several classes of ninth graders visited Ford’s Theatre on Thursday to see the play Twelve Angry Men. The play is very familiar to students, who read the text in ninth grade and also saw the school play this year. The Reginald Rose play deals with a court case in which a young man is on trial for murder, and eight unnamed jurors must decide his fate and wade through their own biases, fears, and personal experiences to understand the truth of the case. The theme of justice pervades many of the ninth grade readings including a research project on famous historical trials.
