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.

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.
