Trial by a jury of your peers is a core tenant of the American justice system. But what if those peers are more interested in getting home it time for dinner than seeing to it that justice is done. In Philip Middleton Williams' insightful two-hander, two potential jurors with a shared connection meet on a bench outside a courtroom. As they wait to be called, they discuss the fairness both inherent and lacking in the system. Thoughtful and entertaining - this one-act play definitely made me pause to consider my take on the subject.

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!
