In an adaptation of one of the oldest comedies known to man, Cleon, a populist demagogue, rules over Athens, contracting the bored and elderly to serve on the courts and do his bidding. Anticleon attempts to teach his juryman father, Procleon, how to be a respectable, modern man instead of wielding his misplaced rage on Cleon's political enemies.
Made on a micro-budget in a literal backyard set built in the Cherrywood neighborhood of Austin, this indie labor of love, executive produced by Richard Linklater, boasts full period costumes and production design, stunts, pyrotechnics, period-accurate dildos, and flying old men.
