Former special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation of the President Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign is getting the theatrical treatment.
A cast of Hollywood A-listers are participating in a live reading of portions of the Mueller report Monday called “The Investigation: A Search for Truth in Ten Acts.”
The 448-page report compiled by special counsel Robert Mueller’s office apparently translates into a 10-act play that takes 18 actors to perform.
The all-star cast also includes Ben McKenzie, Michael Shannon, Jason Alexander, and Kyra Sedgwick. Viewers can expect John Lithgow as Trump, Kevin Kline as Mueller, Joel Grey as Jeff Sessions, Jason Alexander as Chris Christie, Alfre Woodard as Hope Hicks and Annette Bening as the narrator. Mark Hamill, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, and Sigourney Weaver recorded video appearances.
Others joining the cast include Alyssa Milano, Zachary Quinto, Ben McKenzie, Michael Shannon, Justin Long, Piper Perabo, and more.
“The Investigation: A Search for Truth in Ten Acts” was created by Emmy-nominated playwright, screenwriter and actor Robert Schenkkan. He received a Pulitzer Prize in 1992 for his play “The Kentucky Cycle,” and his play “All the Way” won a Tony award in 2014.
