[ one-act comedy for the stage ]
Ethically paranoid Thelonious has a run-in with new wave Buddhism as he prepares for his upcoming jury duty. Meanwhile, in an adjacent realm of consciousness, Thelonious’s psychoanalyst becomes obsessed with his guilt-soaked lifestyle. Between this world and another, could badly written funk music be the true path to enlightenment?
