VIDEO: Daniel Radcliffe Wants Audiences to Keep Their Cell Phones On During New Play PRIVACY

On last night's LATE NIGHT, guest Daniel Radcliffe talked about his new off-Broadway play Privacy and shared that they want audience members to keep their cell phones on during the performance. "There's a lot of interactions that go on onstage that we want people to be able to be a part of and play along," explains the actor. "There's a poll. You can email stuff to us during the show. If we pull it off, it's gonna be very cool." Watch the clips below!

Radcliffe will star in Privacy, a new play co-created and written by Olivier nominated playwright James Graham, and co-created and directed by Olivier Award winner Josie Rourke, this summer.

PRIVACY is a timely exploration of the digital age that will feature a cast of seven, including Radcliffeas "The Writer." Privacy will begin previews for a limited engagement on Tuesday, July 5 and run through Sunday, August 7 in the Newman Theater, with an official press opening on Monday, July 18.

In addition to Daniel Radcliffe as "The Writer," the cast will include De'Adre Aziza, Raffi Barsoumian, Michael Countryman, Rachel Dratch, and Reg Rogers, playing an ensemble of real-life high profile politicians, journalists and technologists who have all contributed exclusively to the show.

Inspired by the revelations of Edward Snowden, Privacy explores our complicated relationship with technology and data through the funny and heart-breaking travails of a lonely guy (Daniel Radcliffe), who arrives in the city to figure out how to like, tag, and share his life without giving it all away. The play uncovers what our technological choices reveal about who we are, what we want and who's keeping track of it all. This provocative theatrical event will ask audiences to charge their phones, leave them ON during the performance and to embark on a fascinating dive online and into a new reality where we're all connected...for better or worse.
