THIS WEEKEND IS THE FINAL CHANCE TO EXPERIENCE THE DRAMATIC, FUNNY, SEXY FUN
OF "AMAZONS AND THEIR MEN," NOW ONSTAGE AT CONVERGENCE-CONTINUUM

"jam-packed 90 minutes"  "hats off to playwright Harrison, and
convergence-continuum" (Christine Howey, Cleveland Scene)

"The play is inspired by some real-life events, which are surreal in their
own right, and then evolves into multiple layers of meaning."  (Art
Thomas, West Life News)

"...comically captured all the anxiety, animosity and awkwardness between
actors once the cameras stop rolling" "this new show doesn't disappoint"
(LAND OF CLEVE Review)

AMAZONS AND THEIR MEN, by Jordan Harrison, is inspired by the life and
work of Leni Riefenstahl. The Frau used to direct beautiful propaganda
films for the fascist Nazi government. Now she's trying to make a film of
her own that's simply beautiful. She casts herself in the lead role of the
Amazon Queen, who falls in love with Achilles. She recruits a man from the
Jewish ghetto to play her dashing Achilles, and a gorgeous young man, a
Romany gypsy, to play Achilles’ on-camera companion and lover, Petroclus. 
But things start to get complicated when the men’s off-camera life is
revealed to be like their on-camera art. Meanwhile, the Frau’s
long-suffering sister, a recurring extra in her films whose specialty is
spectacularly dying on camera, is trying to get the Frau to wake up to the
ominous goings-on in the world around them.

AMAZONS AND THEIR MEN has its final three performances this Thu-Sat at 8
pm at the Liminis theater, 2438 Scranton Rd, Cleveland 44113 in the
historic Tremont neighborhood. Tickets are $15 general admission, $12
seniors, $10 students.  Reservations and info are available at
