Description A contemporary adaptation of one of the world's oldest stories is a rollicking adventure of madness and mayhem where Greek mythology, in all its beauty, is soiled by the hooves of the world's most wanted donkey. It's a common tale: a man with a near pathological curiosity turns up in a new town looking for love and a few answers to life's niggling questions. It just so happens that the town of Thessally is populated by odd sorts who like to dabble in a little witchcraft.. A curious man. Witchcraft. Sex. Donkeys. Thieves. Goddesses. What could possibly go wrong. Absolutely everything.
