Ferhan Şensoy and Ortaoyuncular bring Aristophanes' immortal work, believed to have been written in 422 BC, to the present day. Şensoy adds his own interpretation to Aristophanes' satirical critique of the justice system, and we enjoy watching the play that emerges as he mocks the justice mechanisms of ancient Greece.
