The Great Sebastians is part comedy and part political mystery and intrigue. Set in 1948, in newly communist, post-World War II Prague, Czechoslovakia, the play features the English Effie Sebastian and her Czech husband Rudi Sebastian who have the power to read your thoughts... or so they claim.

This famous husband and wife mind reading act have been touring Europe for the last twenty years billed as 'The Great Sebastians', mystifying audiences with their seemingly unnatural abilities. When the pair return to Czechoslovakia, the nation of Rudi's birth, they find themselves in the midst of a nation in turmoil. The nation has just elected a communist government and fear and suspicion permeate every corner of society.

The Great Sebastians are entertainers, not politicians, and inadvertently find themselves tangled in a political intrigue. General Zandek, who believes that their mind reading may be more than just an act, summons the fraudulent duo to help him find a traitor. When lives are on the line, and friends turn into foes, can the Great Sebastians use their wits to escape the net of circumstance they find themselves in?
