SELF DEFENSE, OR DEATH OF SOME SALESMEN
NOW ONSTAGE AT CONVERGENCE-CONTINUUM THU-SAT THROUGH JULY 27
"gritty" "powerful" "thoroughly transfixing" "this story is intriguing and
Hoffman's performance is riveting" --Bob Abelman, News-Herald
"provocative" --Art Thomas, WestLife News
"poignant, offensive and funny" --Christine Howey, Scene
Inspired by the true story of Aileen Wuornos, SELF DEFENSE, or death of
some salesmen is a cutting-edge drama that is fast and furious, shocking
and funny. At its center, is a portrait of a very complicated human being.
Seven men have been found dead along I-95 in Florida. A prostitute is
arrested and charged with their murders. The police say she's a serial
killer. She claims seven separate acts of self-defense. She is complex,
charismatic, dangerous, damaged, full of love and anger; above all else,
she is alive. (Note: this play contains mature content.)
SELF DEFENSE is directed by convergence-continuums Geoffrey Hoffman, and
features Laurel Hoffman, Elaine Feagler, Katie Atkinson, Rachel Kolis,
Emily Pucell, Aaron Elersich, Wes Shofner, Joe Dunn and Clyde Simon.
SELF DEFENSE runs at 8 p.m. Thu-Sat through July 27 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.
