Overview
Synopsis
A parody of Reginald Rose’s Twelve Angry Men (Jurors), 12 Angry Villains follows the trial of Peter Pan who has allegedly murdered an innocent pirate named Captain Hook. A jury of twelve of the most famous villains will decide Pan's fate, if only they could stop arguing long enough to take a vote. The jury votes 11-1 that Peter Pan is guilty, but the law requires a unanimous vote by all 12 jurors to sentence the boy to adulthood. During a heated debate, new uncertainties come to light, forcing everyone to truly question if there is in fact some measure of "reasonable doubt".

Parody is a comedic imitation of a style, genre, or work that exaggerates its features for humorous or satirical effect. In theatre, it playfully mocks conventions, characters, or cultural icons while still relying on audience recognition of the original. Parody can both celebrate and critique its subject, often blurring the line between homage and ridicule.
