Reginald Rose wrote it in 1954 for performance on the CBS show "Studio One." He rewrote the teleplay for the 1957 film version, directed by Sidney Lumet and starring Henry Fonda, along with Ed Begley, Sr., Lee J. Cobb, and a very young Jack Klugman and Jack Warden, among others.

Do you have a project or something on this play? Because if so, you'd probably get it finished quicker by researching this yourself. However, here's a wikipedia entry below about it; I assume it's the correct author and not an adapter, although most of the info on this seems to be about the movie not the stage play

Reginald Rose, 1949. He also wrote the screen play for the movie in 1957.
I taught Law for years and used it in class every semester.
Usually groans at first (old black and white movie) but always captured everyone fully quickly...
