Gerard Croiset, known as the 'Mozart of psychics,' spins open the lives of an FBI agent and journalist investigating a child's disappearance in the 1960s. Croiset, a Dutchman with limited education, was discovered to have enormous powers to provide clues to crime scenes, and is contacted by crime-fighting agences around the world, including the FBI. He is sheperded around the world by a leading European professor -- or is the professor manipulating him? In this fascinating story, Croiset is contacted by the FBI to help with the disappearance of a young girl in NYC, a true story, at the same time that the FBI agent finds Croiset unwittingly telling him unknown details of his father's story. At the same time, Croiset, once detained by the Nazis and used for their entertainment, relives painful memories of his own. The play asks: are so-called 'psychic' abilities real? How do we know what is true and what is not? What are the roots of knowledge? A story of many mysteries. Various settings; 3 m., 2 w.; 2 hrs.
