After a prelude in 15th Century Bavaria, Oliver Senton as the hero Phil begins his quest for truth and self knowledge in a Torquay tool shed with a luscious naked nymphomaniac. It is 1957 and, after an interlude in Rhodesia, he finds himself in the eccentric, bohemian world of Sam Widges, a Soho cafe where his developing enthusiasms for poetry and jazz find startling release in an improvised session...

The basic pattern is one of confusion and reply, with an endless stream of extraordinary characters appearing to put Phil right, take him on to meet others or just haul him into bed. There can be no conclusion; for our ever evolving hero, there is no ultimate conclusion to be reached. At one point he tumbles towards paranoid schizophrenia, unable to escape from himself and grateful that his wife finds happiness with his own best friend. He becomes a magician of love, conducting a scientifically beautiful hypnosis trip for an admirer... 

After attending a flying saucer conference and encountering UFOs in the Brontes'  Howarth parsonage, he sets off to Loch Ness to start up a centre where people can give birth to themselves. The location is allegedly haunted by Aleister Crowley and dark forces throw both his personal and ideological ambitions into confusion... 

Some of the Characters on the Path 

In Soho, there is Billy McGuinness, the Irish gypsy orator who claims to be God and has returned to Earth in order to pick up his long overdue royalties for the great book. King David, a figure who exists, as somebody said, somewhere between the worlds of Pinter and Gogol, bearing messages from Orion and interrupting his urgent mission only for cups of tea and raw onions. There is the hapless acid freak who, in one of the shows most hilarious episodes, disrupts a cafe with his psychedelically-inspiculinary and excretory vaudevillian antics.

The cosmic green grocer who holds forth on UFOs with exact lucidity; there is Bhagwan Rajneesh in India, whose tranquil instructions are vigorously rejected by Phil. There are knockabout policemen, comic Chinese officials, Buckminster Fuller, life-long haystack dwellers, Venusians, military art enthusiasts, and a raging landlord 
who doesn't have any friends, just different classes of enemy. 

Dramatising the Adventures and the Vision of a Poet across two Decades of Alternative Society. 

From Fifteenth Century Bavaria in another incarnation, battling with the mysterious Baron... 

To the appearance of the poet on the late-50s London jazz & poetry, cafe & gallery Bohemian scene - where our hero has mystical experiences with drugs and is initiated into dianetic science... 

Onwards through travels in the Middle East - amidst encounters with relentless bureaucracy - to Paris, where he meets with Krishnamurti and the cyberneticist who turns him on to instantaneous telepathy... 

Then an introduction to Gurdjeffian teachings on the possibilities in the
evolution of human consciousness leads our hero to... 

Finsbury Park - the explosion of white light. So awesomely devoid of warmth, the poet earths himself in a Barons Court artists commune, doing poetry, readings and acid, ever onwards... 

To Summer '67. Now our hero experiments with a new way of being - without recourse to ideation, our poet, his wife and the ex jazz musician with whom she falls in love... 

Amidst tales of extraterrestrial intelligence - the Yorkshire flying saucer contactee - UFO sightings by our poet and close encounters of several kinds... 

Then 1968 - convinced that deep thinking is the only way to develop the human psyche, the poet gives a public lecture to this effect - stating that drugs are being used as an escape from personal responsibility rather than facing the way the world is - he attempts to encourage others to create their art in public... 

Into the Seventies - when our hero receives a telepathic message to create a hospital where people can give birth to themselves. After further UFO communication he discovers Freya, an Ancient Atlantean power centre - a commune is formed, the poet teaches weaving, dervish turning and how to think Phil meets Rachel - falls in love... 

The Baron Returns - years of struggle, as the poet meets with tragedy, insanity,injustice... 

In search of peace he journeys to Bhagwan Rajneesh in India - delves deeper into Scientology - explores the Mystery of Life - and comes to understand that life can only become meaningful through thinking with ones whole being.
