One of the great things about working as a production dramaturg is the time spent in rehearsal working with the actors. For this production of 12 Angry Jurors, we spent quite a bit of time exploring the world of the play. To help the actors interact with the courtroom drama world of Boston in 1953, we created a dramaturgical website for the actors. We put a link to this website on QR codes that were printed and hung throughout the rehearsal space, so that the actors could have access to the website at any time.
As audience members, if you want to explore the world of the play from an actor's perspective, we invite you to visit the site! There you will find more information on life in Boston in 1953, women's roles, the history of the play, as well as images and videos that engage with the time period. We hope you enjoy the dramaturgical work as much as our actors did!
