A livestreamed read-through of Pulitizer Prize-winning playwright Robert Schenkkan’s The Investigation: A Search For The Truth In Ten Acts has now been streamed by more than a million people, according to the producers.
The play, which is a reading of excerpts from Robert Mueller’s investigation of potential Russian collusion with President Donald Trump’s campaign in the 2016 election, was performed at New York City’s Riverside Church on June 24. Actors and readers included John Lithgow as President Trump, Kevin Kline as Robert Mueller, Joel Grey as Jeff Sessions, Jason Alexander as Chris Christie, and Alfre Woodard as Hope Hicks.
The play is available to stream here.
A clip featuring endorsements from Mark Hamill, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Mark Ruffalo, Bob Balaban, and Sigourney Weaver is available on Facebook.
The play was pulled together in 25 days, unlike the 18 months of the actual Mueller investigation, which found no collusion on the part of Trump’s campaign.

If, like most people, you haven’t gotten around to reading the entirety of the Mueller report, stars like Mark Ruffalo, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Mark Hamill, and Annette Bening have made it easier to understand the Russia investigation by recording a video of themselves reading aloud the report’s most pertinent passages.
The exclusive video obtained by Variety comes after the actors’ one-night performance on June 24 where they performed a live reading of the selections from the 300-page report for Robert Schenkkan’s stage adaptation, “The Investigation: A Search for the Truth in Ten Acts.” Alongside a stream of the live performance, which featured appearances by Kevin Kline, John Lithgow, Piper Perabo, Michael Shannon, Zachary Quinto, and Sigourney Weaver, the cast recorded a separate off-stage video that highlights the recording’s findings.
“Robert Mueller’s investigation found 10 possible acts of obstruction of justice. Let’s review them one more time…” Bening begins the video.
