Actors arriving on a herd of donkeys is already an amusing image. I see a twelve person company just clump clumping up to the palace gates and they look gloriously ridiculous.
Even funnier is a group of actors arriving on their asses, like scooting across the ground on their butts, like a dog trying to scratch his behind. Or maybe on Toboggan type sleds, their hands on the reins, their legs bringing them scoot by scoot closer.
