Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe will be joined by Edward Snowden onstage for a performance of the British play, “Privacy,” The New York Times reports. While Radcliffe will be live onstage during the New York performance, Snowden will “perform” through a robotic stand-in, recording his lines from Moscow. Snowden’s appearance will come at the end of the play, where he will deliver statements he has made regarding privacy, intertwined with parts of Act 3 of “The Tempest” performed by Radcliffe. Snowden’s involvement comes after the show’s creators tried to get him to perform for years. “He is hoping that the playwrights and actors here can take abstract concepts and make them more concrete for people who might not read NSA documents at their computers,” said American Civil Liberties Union’s Ben Wizner.
