THE HYACINTH MACAW by Mac Wellman now onstage at convergence-continuum:

The Hyacinth Macaw takes place in Gradual, a quiet American town on the
banks of Bug River.  Ray and Dora are slightly uneasy American parents
raising their precocious teenage daughter Susannah. When a mysterious
stranger, Mr. William Hard, arrives from The Land of Evening with news
that Ray is a "duplicate," “a pneumatic redundancy” and must be replaced,
their entire world is turned upside-down. And what's all this stuff about
the moon being sick and dying?  Mac Wellman's surreal/absurdist 'The
Hyacinth Macaw' presents a strange comedy contained inside a sumptuous
linguistic adventure.

The Hyacinth Macaw runs at 8 p.m. Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays through
April 7 at the Liminis, 2438 Scranton Rd., Cleveland, OH 44113.    Tickets
are $15 general admission, $12 for seniors and $10 for students.  For
