The Investigation: A Search for the Truth in Ten Acts

Pulitzer Prize winning playwright Robert Schenkkan (The Kentucky Cycle, All The Way) stitched together a theater piece from the text of the Mueller report. It was live-streamed and you can see it here: https://newyorktheater.me/2019/06/25/watch-theinvestigation-the-mueller-report-adapted-by-robert-schenkkan/

That was worth the time it took to watch it. Thanks for providing this link.

its more of a piece of political activism than compelling drama, but it does work as darkly comic absurdism, particularly the performances of John Lithgow as Trump, Michael Shannon as Don McGahn, Jason Alexander as Chris Christie and Joel Grey as Jeff Sessions. Kevin Kline as Mueller had a lot of trouble just reading the script, much less performing the role, and Annette Bening didn't add much as the narrator, but on the whole, it was a powerful experience for me to be there at historic Riverside Church to be a witness to this call to arms and demand for impeachment.
