Artists Rebuild A More Inclusive Broadway
Newsy
TaNisha Fordham's "12 Mo' Angry Men" is a modern re-envisioning of Reginald Rose's classic play about justice and inequality.
As theaters across the country recover from a year of shuttered stages, the industry's artists are galvanized to rebuild a more inclusive industry and — through art — continue the past year's conversations on racial justice.
"I was biking one day, and listening to '12 Angry Men' – the original – and was just struck so deeply by how the conversation was so relevant to what was going on at the time around the George Floyd case, and Breonna Taylor," said playwright and director, TaNisha Fordham.
During the height of the protests for racial justice, Fordham wrote "12 Mo' Angry Men," which is a modern re-envisioning of Reginald Rose's classic play about justice and inequality.
