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-continuum’s 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.
