| Description |
The god Pluto entices the bored housewife Eurydice to Hades with promises of fame, fortune and fun. The hapless Orpheus is forced by Public Opinion (a cross between Pauline Hanson and Hyacinth Bucket) to journey first to Mount Olympus and then to Hades to retrieve his wife. But all is not well on Mount Olympus and the gods revolt and make haste to Hades to see what all the fuss is about. |
