The Trials of Virginia Rappe by

“
"Fatty" Arbuckle was a towering figure in the early days of cinema and his trial(s) for manslaughter shook the industry like nothing had before. In dramatizing these events, Tamar Shai Bolkvadze does not call her play "The Trials of Fatty Arbuckle," but chooses to use the name of the victim instead. A clever decision that speaks volumes, because the play will certainly remind you of the old adage that the more things seem to change, the more they stay the same. I definitely want to see a full production of this. ”
