dead-end hallways and unopened doors befitting a dream state"  "the
con-con cast...creates riveting moments"  (Christine Howey, Cleveland
Scene)

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 Mark’s 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-continuum’s 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.
