Harvey Weinstein is famous for his big screen productions, but now a production about him could be taken to the big stage.
Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright David Mamet says he has written a new play about Harvey Weinstein that is expected to head to Broadway.
He told the Chicago Tribune in an interview published on Thursday: “I was talking with my Broadway producer and he said, ‘Why don’t you write a play about Harvey Weinstein?’ And so I did.”
He didn't go into further detail about when we could expect to see the play or what it would be about - would it focus on the film career of the movie mogul or on the recent controversy surrounding him, accusations of sexual harrassment and the #MeToo movement? - however the Tribune did reveal that it’s working title is currently “Bitter Wheat” and "there has been great interest in the lead role expressed by a Chicago stage legend who is now a movie star."
