to Priseaux, France, c. 1250 A.D.: The river
flooded again last week. The chandler's shop
just burned to the ground. Nobody's heard
of the wheelbarrow yet. And Ste. Foy, the
patron of the local monastery, hasn't worked
a miracle in thirteen years. In other words,
the Dark Ages still look pretty dark. All
eyes turn to the Pope, whose promised visit
will surely encourage other pilgrims to make
the trek and restore the abbey to its former
glory. That is, until a rival church claims
to possess the relics of Ste. Foy - and their
bones are working miracles. All seems lost
until the destitute monks take a lesson from
a larcenous one-eyed minstrel who teaches
them an outrageous new way to pay old debts.
A farcical romp!
