A Short History of The Prima Donnas A long time ago in a country far, far away (England, 1980) the three lads collectively known as The Prima Donnas met one another. Otto, Nikki and Julius were all transferred to the same orphanage, St. Orleans of the Cross, under the warm care of Father Heathcliff. They did as orphans do, which is basically to run wild without supervision, except on Sundays, when they had church service and the prospective adopters would come to look at the children.
