Exploring A New Realm Of Performance: Not A Solo, Not A Drama, Not A Musical (4)

 On the contrary, Entertainment District can said to be a drama with rather conventional development of the acts.
 In the play, a man dropped in a local bar at the end of the day, and found that the bartender and the customers were all able to read his mind. But the man, who is married, can't read their minds. That is because the bartender and the customers are all single (dokushin in Japanese)...   
 Here, the wordplay stands out because 'being single' explains the reason they are telepathic.
