Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Mark Hamill, More Set for Live Mueller Report Reading
A host of Hollywood stars are teaming up to bring the public a live reading of the Mueller report.
The big event is called "The Investigation: A Search for the Truth in Ten Acts," and it is scheduled to take place on Monday, June 24. It will star Zachary Quinto, Annette Bening, John Lithgow, and more, with additional participation by Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Mark Hamill, and Sigourney Weaver, Deadline reports. They'll perform a version of the report adapted by the Pulitzer Prize-winning writer Robert Schenkkan.
The full cast also includes Kevin Kline, Frederick Weller, Ben McKenzie, Michael Shannon, Noah Emmerich, Justin Long, Jason Alexander, Gina Gershon, Wilson Cruz, Joel Grey, Alyssa Milano, Kyra Sedgwick, Alfre Woodard, Piper Perabo, and Aidan Quinn. The reading is presented by Law Works, which will be live-streaming it. The organization "engages voices and educates the public on the importance of the rule of law, the role of the special counsel in the justice system, and the integrity of our judicial institutions," per its website.
Law Works describes the upcoming play as "ripped right from the pages of the Mueller report." The special counsel's report was submitted to Attorney General William Barr in March, and the Department of Justice released a redacted version to the public in April. The full report numbers more than 400 pages, meaning a reading may make it more accessible to the general public. The fact that there's a star-studded cast will likely also draw people in.
"The Investigation" is executive produced by Susan Disney Lord, Abigail Disney, and Timothy Disney. It will begin live-streaming here at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT.
