 Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Mark Hamill, Alyssa Milano and Annette
Bening are among some 20 actors who will perform a reading of
the report in New York City that will be live-streamed,
organizers announced.
"The Investigation: Search for the Truth in Ten Acts," by
playwright Robert Schenkkan, is an adaptation of the 448-page
report by Special Counsel Mueller's two year probe of contacts s
between Russians and the campaign of Donald Trump, and Trump's
efforts after his election as U.S. President to impede the
investigation.
A redacted version of Mueller's report was published in April.
It concluded that Russia repeatedly interfered in the 2016
election and that Trump's election campaign had multiple
contacts with Russian officials, but did not establish a
criminal conspiracy with Moscow to win the White House.
The one-night only staged reading is organized by Law Works,
which says it works to educate the public on the integrity of
U.S. judicial systems. It will be live-streamed on the group's
website on Monday at 9 p.m. ET (Tuesday 0100 GMT).

Celebrities, also including Kevin Kline, John Lithgow, Sigourney
Weaver and Zachary Quinto, will take the roles of some of the dozens
of people, including current and former Trump administration
officials, who were cited in the Mueller report.
The Mueller report has been top of the New York Times paperback non
fiction list for eight weeks, and is currently in 17th place on the
Amazon.com books best-seller list.
A graphic novel version is also in the works.
Publishers IDW announced last week that New Yorker cartoonist
Shannon Wheeler and journalist Steve Duin are working on an
illustrated, 208-page satirical version of the Mueller report that
"borrows style from classic private detective yarns, complete with a
villain's rogues' gallery (and) nail-biting cliffhangers."
"The Mueller Report: Graphic Novel" will be published in April 2020.
