THIS WEEKEND IS THE FINAL WEEKEND TO EXPERIENCE MAC WELLMAN'S SURREAL
COMEDY "THE HYACINTH MACAW" NOW ONSTAGE AT CONVERGENCE-CONTINUUM.

"lyrical lunacy"  "the linguistic gymnastics are strangely beautiful"
--Andrea Simakis, Plain Dealer.

"weirdly entertaining"   "crisp humor"  "encrusted with whiplash images"
"you feel the giddy, floaty sensation you get when your car goes
momentarily airborne" --Christine Howey, Cleveland Scene.

The Hyacinth Macaw has its final three performances this Thu, Fri and Sat
at 8pm at the Liminis, 2438 Scranton Rd., Cleveland, OH 44113 in the
historic Tremont neighborhood.    Tickets are $15 general admission, $12
for seniors and $10 for students.  For reservations and information visit

A mysterious stranger, Mr. William Hard, from The Land of Evening arrives
at a family's home on the banks of Bug River with news that the family
father is a "duplicate" and must be replaced by the stranger himself.  He
also claims that the moon is sick and dying.  What are Ray and Dora (the
family's slightly uneasy American parents) and their precocious teenage
daughter Susannah to make of this?  And what's all this stuff about Mad Wu
the Chinaman?  Mac Wellman's surreal/absurdist 'The Hyacinth Macaw'
presents a strange comedy contained inside a sumptuous linguistic
adventure.
