The revival of Herman Wouk's The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial will begin performances on Friday, April 14, 2006 and open on Broadway on Sunday, May 7, 2006 at 7pm at The Lyceum Theatre (149 W. 45th St.).

Directed by Tony Award-winner Jerry Zaks (La Cage aux Folles, Guys and Dolls) and starring David Schwimmer ("Friends") in his Broadway stage debut as Lt. Barney Greenwald, the show will also star Tony-nominee Zeljko Ivanek (The Pillowman, Two Shakespearean Actors) as Lt. Com. Philip Francis Queeg.

Originally published as a novel in 1951, The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial is the story of a naval lieutenant on trial for mutiny in wartime. The novel won Wouk the Pulitzer Prize, selling millions of copies and becoming a classic story of American history.

In addition to The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial, Herman Wouk's work includes The Winds of War, War and Remembrance, Marjorie Morningstar, Youngblood Hawke, The Hope, The Glory, A Hole in Texas, as well as the non-fiction books This Is My God and The Will to Live On. Wouk himself served aboard two destroyer-minesweepers, the U.S.S. Zane and the U.S.S. Southhard, from 1942 to 1946.

Produced by Jeffrey Richards, Jerry Frankel, Debra Black and Roger Berlind, The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial will feature a set designed by John Lee Beatty, costumes by William Ivey Long, lighting by Paul Gallo, and sound design by Peter Fitzgerald.
