CONVERGENCE-CONTINUUM PRESENTS OUROBOROS, A “REVERSIBLE” PLAY BY TOM
JACOBSON, OPENING FRIDAY, NOV. 13 AT THE LIMINIS

convergence-continuum, completes its 2009 season at the Liminis theatre
with the regional premier of the reversible play OUROBOROS, Tom Jacobson’s
mysterious and intellectually challenging new puzzle, featuring two plays
in one.

The play (actually two plays) is a love story involving the crisscrossing
spiritual quests of two unrelated American couples, each traveling through
time in the opposite direction as they visit five Italian cities.  They
seem to be trapped in a hellish collision of fate as they live out
cross-referenced realities. This mixture of déjà vu and shocking Twilight
Zone-like inevitability takes place in five scenes that can be performed
in either order. One way (Ouroboros: The Nun’s Tale) it’s a comedy (in
that it ends happily), the other way (Ouroboros: The Priest’s Tale), a
tragedy. "Seen together or alone, this is a thought-provoking pair of
hits!" ---BackStage West. The show will run for six weekends, with the
play being performed 8 times in each order: The Nun’s Tale on Fridays
(plus two Thursdays), The Priest’s Tale, on Saturdays (plus two
Thursdays).

We’re encouraging you to see both versions by offering a discounted ticket
price ($10) for your return visit.

OUROBOROS is directed by convergence’s Artistic Director, Clyde Simon, and
features actors Amy Bistok-Bunce, Geoffrey Hoffman, Sarah Kunchick,
Christian Prentice and Joe Shultz. Designers include Colleen Albrecht
(lights), Sade Wolfkitten (sound), Scott Gorbach (costumes). Stage Manager
is Lucy Bredeson-Smith.

OUROBOROS opens Friday, Nov. 13 and runs at 8 p.m. Thursdays, Fridays and
Saturdays through Dec. 19, at the Liminis, 2438 Scranton Rd., Cleveland,
OH 44113.  Tickets are $15 general admission, $12 for students and seniors
