Two former jurists reunite...
and uncover some uncomfortable truths
Australian award winning playwright and civil rights lawyer, Suzie Miller has combined all her talents to create a scintillating drama - in the style of 12 Angry Men.
Anna and Mitchell, jurors on a high profile murder trial, conduct an illicit affair while confined during deliberations. Two years on they arrange to reunite in a chic hotel room... and uncover some buried truths.
Featuring Aussie heartthrob Peter Phelps star of Melbourne’s long running detective drama, Stingers, Guy Masterson’s record breaking Australian cast production of 12 Angry Men and Lantana with Geoffrey Rush (and also known to world audiences for his early topless appearances in Baywatch) - opposite the beautiful Emma Jackson from All Saints. The play poses the question, "If we knew our verdict was compromised, when we gave it, can we live with the guilt once the sentence is passed?"
The drama sizzles with passion and moral dilemma... and makes us question how we might act in similar circumstances - after all - "Trial by Jury", the cornerstone of our judicial system and bulwark against authoritarianism, relies on integrity, but what happens when it's compromised by individual indiscretion.
Miller's crisp quick fire dialogue - reminiscent of Mamet and Ravenhill, keeps the narrative moving and the audience guessing which, together with Masterson's trademark power and simplicity, makes Reasonable Doubt a pre-lunch treat.
