LILIES OPENS THIS FRIDAY, OCT 11, AT CONVERGENCE-CONTINUUM!
"The love story no one ever told"

convergence-continuum presents the Ohio premiere of "LILIES, or the
Revival of a Romantic Drama" by Michel Marc Bouchard (translation by Linda
Gaboriau), opening this Friday.

Lilies is about love and revenge. The play is set in 1952 in the church of
a prison where it has been arranged that the jailed Simon Doucet will make
confession to his old friend Bishop Bilodeau. The Bishop, however, is
imprisoned by Simon and some fellow convicts who act out before him scenes
from a play.  It is no light entertainment that Bilodeau is forced to
watch, but the homoerotic scenes from "The Death of San Sebastian," which
in turn are revealed to be only a part of the script that is to be
presented by the convicts.  The prisoners' play takes the action back to
the Quebec countryside of 1912 where Simon, Bilodeau and the Parisian
newcomer, Count Vallier De Tilly, were young contemporaries involved in a
secret love triangle. In acting out the circumstances that occurred
immediately prior to Simon's incarceration, it is intended that Bishop
Bilodeau will be the one to confess what he did four decades earlier that
resulted in Simon's wrongful imprisonment.

Note:  This production contains some scenes of an adult nature and nudity.

Lilies is directed by convergence-continuum’s Tyson Douglas Rand, who
directed convergence’s 2011 production of The Boys in the Band. The acting
ensemble includes Robert  Branch, Bobby Coyne, Joe Dunn, Charles Hargrave,
Jack Matuszewski, Michael Regnier, Eric Sever, Clyde Simon and Dennis
Sullivan.
