It's called "The Bill Cosby Assault."

From a press release:
Several members of the Philadelphia Theatre Community have joined forces to create The Bill Cosby Assault, which is set to debut during the 2015 Philadelphia Fringe Festival and will mark the 10thAnniversary of the first public accusation against celebrated comedian and hometown favorite Bill Cosby.
The play will use actual quotations from Cosby’s accusers and skeptics in “monologues, readings, dramatizations, movement and multimedia,” and “will explore the divide that exists in America when a woman accuses any man — let alone 'America’s dad' — of rape or sexual assault."
Fiorillo’s “artistic advisory board” includes Amy Smith, Jennifer Kidwell and James Ijames. They’re heading up a Kickstarter for the play, and are aiming to raise $10,000.
So. What do we think?
