Roar of the Crowd

Roar of the Crowd chronicles a beloved celebrity’s shocking fall in a compelling new dramatization of a true Hollywood tragedy. Using elements from vaudeville, slapstick, music and dance, the play creates the intense experience of Roscoe Arbuckle’s prosecution and persecution for a crime he did not commit. But Arbuckle’s great friendship with Buster Keaton is the play’s greatest story — a friendship that transends opportunism, ambition, drunken party, circus trials, distorted justice and celebrity scandal.
