The Mueller Report Is the Surprise Hit of the Summer

AMERICAN THEATRE: The Mueller Report has become this summer’s most sought-after script. Following its release in April 2019, theatre artists in both red and blue states have organized unique showcases of special counsel Robert Mueller’s “Report on Investigation into Russian Interference in the 2016 Presidential Election.” This month alone, there will be live readings of the report from theatre companies in Los Angeles and Washington, D.C., starring actors like Alfred Molina and Harry Groener.

I think that the Mueller Report is very good source material to potentially create a script out of; it is both pertinent to our current political situation and something important for Americans to know about. It's pretty shocking that the majority of America hasn't read it, seeing as it's so important to the state of the country, and this is a good way to garner exposure for it. I'm not sure that mass readings of the report really do much, but as long as some kind of attention is being brought to it, I think it's for the better. The more opinions form, the more it will be discussed in different types of media and common discourse between people. As we saw from the success of Hamilton, history without much bearing on the present is still able to become a nationwide sensation, so if the Mueller Report were given to a talented enough writer, what would we get?
