David Mamet announces release plans for Shia LaBeouf prison drama 'Henry Johnson.'

In addition to LaBeouf, who starred in the show when it was mounted at the Electric Lodge venue in Venice, Calif., the rest of the play’s cast will reprise their stage roles on-screen. Mamet is back on Broadway this season with a revival of “Glengarry Glen Ross,” starring Kieran Culkin and Bob Odenkirk, and signage in the lobby of the theater touts “Henry Johnson’s” release. Variety’ s Peter Debruge gave a largely positive review of the play, calling it “an exploration of [manipulation and negotiable morals] at a time when entire segments of the country are being swayed” and said LaBeouf is “dynamite.”
