When a single juror stands up against peer pressure and votes “Not Guilty” in a seemingly open and shut case it becomes clear why jurors need to deliberate and discuss. The defendant is the faceless other – the only thing we know that he is poor and yet the process reveals how the jurors and in fact the audience project their prejudices onto him. In addition to unpacking the narrative, the workshop investigates the construction of characters, and other dramatic elements, to present a reading of the play as a study of the power of language and one’s ability to create persuasive arguments.
