	CONVERGENCE-CONTINUUM PRESENTS THE PRIDE BY ALEXI KAYE CAMPBELL

	MAR 29-APR 20, DIRECTED BY JONATHAN WILHELM 

	 

	Convergence-continuum presents the OHIO PREMIERE of _The Pride _by
Alexi Kaye Campbell, running March 29 – April 20._  _The
time-bending play, the first in con-con’s 2019 Star-Crossed Season,
interweaves the love stories of two similar couples separated by fifty
years, each with very dissimilar outcomes.

	 

	_The Pride 
_is a collage portrait of two parallel love stories, in 1958 and 2008,
between different pairs of characters, both named Phillip and
Oliver.  In 1958 Phillip, who is married to Sylvia, has an illicit
affair with Oliver, which would have been considered a criminal
offense if it were ever discovered. In 2008 a different Phillip and
Oliver have the freedom to conduct their relationship in the open. But
do they appreciate the freedom to be who they are - or even know what
to do with that freedom?  One play. Two stories. Three characters
interweaving in time.
