Roger Waters will take the stage next week playing a different kind of role than usual. The Pink Floyd co-founder will join the cast of Culture Project‘s revival of “The Exonerated,” a play about wrongfully convicted survivors of death row.

Featuring a rotating cast of celebrities reading accounts by former death row inmates, the show focuses on the true stories of six people sentenced to death and later freed after being proven innocent.
Waters will share the stage with Kathleen Chalfant, William Marshall and Chris Sarandon.
