AL PACINO

There is talk of reviving David Rabe's play, The Basic Training of Pavlo Hummel, and a preliminary casting notice has been posted (June 24, 2009). Al Pacino starred in the Theater Company of Boston's production in Boston (shown here) in 1972, and in 1977 on Broadway. Leonard DiCaprio is said to be interested in taking on the role; Pacino won a Tony for it. Will it keep its setting in the Vietnam War?
