It's 1250 AD, the Dark Ages. All seems lost for the local monastery in Priseaux, France. No miracles in years, and a rival church claims to possess the relics of Ste. Foy. Then, a larcenous minstrel comes up with a plan that will restore the abbey to its former glory.
"A farcical romp, scintillating and irreverent." —Philadelphia Weekly
