SWAN?
A raunchy twist on Swan Lake! Meet Odette—a chain-smoking half-swan, half-ballerina who is desperately searching for her true love to rescue her from a life of limbo. Come down to the lake and laugh while Odette pirouettes around and invites you to declare your undying love for her so she can escape this living hell!
