A jury of ‘average citizens’ with no formal education or experience in the law, is likely to use their ‘guts’, emotions and prejudices, to decide whether the defendant is guilty or innocent. In “Reasonable Doubt” by PHILIP MIDDLETON WILLIAMS, we learn a well thoughtout justice system has its flaws, especially when it relies on the opinions, judgment, and prejudices of the jurors. I found this play to be enlightening, entertaining and engaging. I highly recommend this play. BRAVO, Philip!

It must be incredibly tough sitting in as a jury member, faced with making a tough decision based on two strong arguments, I don't fancy it thanks.
In this two hander, Philip cleverly takes us one way, then another, then yet another. Reading this I felt like a jury member myself, just waiting to see where it ends up.
A excellent play? - Guilty!

Philip Middleton Williams never fails to produce a thought-provoking piece, and he does so here in a mere 17 pages with REASONABLE DOUBT. This one-act is an intriguing two-hander between well-drawn characters about the justice system: one man who was previously on trial, one who had served on his jury, and I must add one character comes armed with excellent references to cop and courtroom media of all types. Fascinating stuff.
