CONVERGENCE-CONTINUUM PRESENTS THE REGIONAL PREMIERE OF THE MYSTIFYING AND
CHILLING "A MAP OF VIRTUE" BY ERIN COURTNEY, NOW ONSTAGE AT THE LIMINIS
"a supernatural nightmare ... a chewy center of inexplicable evil ... with
dead-end hallways and unopened doors befitting a dream state" "the
con-con cast...creates riveting moments" (Christine Howey, Cleveland
Scene)
Full review at http://www.clevescene.com
Part interview, part comedy, part middle-of-the-night terror, A MAP OF
VIRTUE is a symmetrically-structured play guided by a tiny bird statue.
Though it begins as a quirkily humorous rumination on chance and symmetry,
Ms. Courtney's drama alters into a tense and enigmatic exploration of
obsession, attachment, isolation and the murky middle of the night when
bad things sometimes happen. An unlikely friendship develops between Mark
and Sarah when he gives her a small bird statue during a chance encounter.
Although inextricably linked, they remain strangers until they are forced,
along with Sarah's husband Nate and Marks boyfriend Victor, to share a
frightening weekend in a cabin deep in the woods that derails into a
quiet, pitiless nightmare.
A MAP OF VIRTUE is directed by convergence-continuums Artistic Director,
Clyde Simon, and features company actors Lucy Bredeson-Smith, Robert
Hawkes, Mike Majer, Jack Matuszewski and Eric Sever and newcomers to the
Liminis stage Kat Bi and Logan Smith.
A MAP OF VIRTUE runs at 8 pm, Thursday, Friday and Saturday through July
12 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. Reservations and information are available at
http://www.convergence-continuum.org or by calling 216-687-0074.
