Cockeyed is a
comedy about DescartesÕ philosophical insight ÒI think therefore I am.Ó ItÕs
the story of an average philosophy major who is in love with the unattainable
woman of his dreams. The only problem is that she has a glass eye and looks
right through him. Soon it occurs to him that she's not
being narcissistic but in fact can't see him. He reasons that the
only logical thing to do is to move in with her and cohabitate
– despite the fact that sheÕs unaware of his existence. It might be
called a Woody Allen type comedy. (3 men, 1 woman, unit set)
