He first treated the trials as if they were theatre, but later found himself fighting for his freedom and his life. Using real quotes and transcripts from the courtroom, Gross Indecency shows a man having to defend himself -- and his art -- against a society's intolerance.

It's a splashy, hilarious Country-Western send-up of the classic tale of horror, The Phantom Of The Opera! Filled with irreverent wit, painful punning, sly contemporary references and more than a touch of the absurd, this shameless romp is a bit like The Nashville Network on acid.
