Opera in 2 Acts (11 Scenes). S. is Sara Worth, a Bostonian matron who jettisons her family and comfortable lifestyle to join the Arizona ashram of a Hindu religious leader, known as the Arhat. In a stream of written and taped communications to her family and friends back east, Sara relates the story of her rise to prominence at the ashram and of her surprising discovery about its founder. This hilarious romp through 1980s American culture takes place in Boston, Boston's North Shore, Arizona, Florida, England, Holland, and on an island in the Bahamas.
