Synopsis/Details
In this philosophical vaudeville, a meek and pliable man is intimidated into accepting his overbearing companion’s challenge that he can be proven to be an utter Skeptic.
The meek man is led through a brutally comic series of trials – by fire, taste, odor, and sound – in an effort by his dominating companion to prove him be be an utter skeptic.
After barely surviving the violent and demeaning trials, the bullied is compelled by the force of his own mind to acknowledge that All Reality exists only in his Mind, thus gaining the Ultimate Revenge: he ceases to exist his tormentor but in doing so, has condemned All of Reality as well as (all other things) to non-existence, including himself.
