WOLVES, A DARKLY COMIC, PREDATORY URBAN FAIRY TALE FOR ADULTS,
OPENS THIS FRIDAY, MAY 8 AT CONVERGENCE-CONTINUUM

convergence-continuum presents the Ohio premiere of Steve Yockey’s urban
fable, WOLVES, a predatory fairy tale that involves sex and fear in modern
culture, the comfort of lava lamps, and the dangers of a handy axe.

WOLVES takes place during a long and eventful night at the apartment of
Ben and his ex-boyfriend, now roommate, Jack.  Ben, never the most stable
of young men, has recently moved from a small town to the big city, where
he harbors a full-blown paranoia about the place where he lives, which he
thinks of as the “deep, dark forest,” and has an outrageous fear of the
“wolves” that prowl it. To taunt the clingy, jealous Ben, and to prove
that the city isn’t what Ben imagines it to be, Jack brings home a “wolf”
from a bar one night. Though a series of misunderstandings, things turn
violent (that axe is involved) and it’s up to the determined and bitingly
funny female narrator to guide us through to the end of this postmodern
fracturing of the Red Riding Hood yarn.

WOLVES is directed by convergence-continuum’s Cory Molner
(MilkMilkLemonade, Based on a Totally True Story, etc.), and features
company actors Beau Reinker and Eric Sever, and con-con newcomers Wesley
Allen and Theresa Pedone.

WOLVES opens this Fri, May 8 and runs Thu-Sat at 8 pm through May 30 at
the Liminis theater, 2438 Scranton Rd.  Tickets are $15 general admission,
$12 seniors (65+), $10 students. Reservations and information at
