Freeport Players will present the comedic spoof “12 Incompetent Jurors” by Ian McWethy in various venues in the Midcoast area from Sept. 13-22.
When a man is accused of stealing six cats, it seems like an open-and-shut case. However, with an oddball jury squabbling over bizarre theories and personal grievances, the situation quickly spirals into hilarious chaos. Despite the clear evidence of guilt, juror No. 8, an aspiring lawyer, insists the man is innocent. Can she persuade the others, or will the jury’s comedic blunders and Juror No. 3, the only sane voice, lead them to a reasonable verdict?
Cast members Shirley Bernier, Phil Chin, Karyn Diamond, Hali Fortin, Nancy Kenneally, Nate Levesque, Peter Nicoll, John Paterson, Mike Powers, David Wallace, and Sparrow Wilbur are from Freeport, Brunswick, Lewiston, Falmouth, Lisbon Falls, and Steep Falls.
