12 Incompetent Jurors
By Ian McWethy
Synopsis: When a man is accused of abducting half a dozen cats, it's a simple open-and-shut case, even for a jury that's filled with oddballs like a dim-witted PR flack, a bickering couple, and a creep obsessed with french fries. After all, every scrap of evidence indicts the accused. (I mean so clearly. The man is very, very guilty of stealing cats. Case closed.) And yet, Juror #8, a wannabe lawyer, believes that the "Cat Burglar" is innocent. Will he be able to sway the other jury members? Or will they side with Juror #3, the only sane one in the room? A hilarious parody of 12 Angry Men.
FOREMAN, overly eager to please, energetic. Takes improv classes at the Y and is excited to share her “kooky characters.”
TWO, nervous, prone to anxiety attacks. Terrible at making arguments or standing up for herself.
THREE, a sensible, moral woman.
FOUR, a bratty influencer. Her specialty is opening boxes. She does not care about this trial.
FIVE and SIX, a bickering couple. Loud, argumentative, but gosh darn it if they don’t love each other.
SEVEN, sweet but lonely. Unemployed and lives with her grand- mother. Thinks she’s found a best friend in the prosecutor.
EIGHT, believes he or she should have been a lawyer. Persuasive and self-righteous.
NINE, creepy guy. Eats fries all the time. Keeps to himself mostly.
TEN, angry, at almost everyone. Definite rage issues. Probably should be medicated.
ELEVEN, works in PR. A fast-talker though not much of an intellect.
TWELVE, an emigrant from somewhere in Eastern Europe. Has trouble expressing her ideas and understanding others.
Other Characters
JUDGE, stern an authority figure. Still trying to figure out Zoom.
GUARD, fun, friendly. Very into this new doc on Netflix. Not great at her job.
Voice-Only Characters
DONALD PLEATS, the defendant. In the audio we hear that he is clearly nuts. And guilty. So guilty.
BRAD, a normally mild-mannered husband. Hosting a yard sale. SHELLY, a normally mild-mannered wife. Also hosting a yard sale.
