Background

Kōki Mitani wrote the original play for his theatrical troupe Tokyo Sunshine Boys. The play was a parody of 12 Angry Men, but was also intended to answer the question, "What if Japan had a jury system like America's?" It premiered at Theater Sun Mall in Tokyo on July 30, 1990. It was performed throughout 1990, 1991 and 1992, and then revived from December 2005 to January 2006 by Tokyo's Parco Theater.
