GIDION'S KNOT OPENS FRIDAY, MARCH 20 AT CONVERGENCE-CONTINUUM

Convergence-continuum opens its 2020 Season, "Fight Back," with
_Gidion's Knot_ by Johnna Adams.

Over the course of a parent/teacher conference, a grieving mother and an
emotionally overwhelmed fifth-grade primary school teacher have a
fraught conversation about the tragic suicide of the mother's son,
Gidion.  Gidion may have been bullied severely--or he may have been an
abuser. As his story is slowly uncovered, the women try to reconstruct a
satisfying explanation for Gidion's act and come to terms with
excruciating feelings of culpability.

_Gidion's Knot_ is a thought-provoking two-character play touching upon
bullying, teacher/parent responsibility, the local principal's and
board's decisions and policies, the school system's failures and the
issue of students' freedom of expression. The face-off escalates
inexorably throughout as the two women confront the audience as much as
one another with their characters' pain, avoidance and degrees of guilt
and regret.

_Gidion's Knot_ is directed by convergence-continuum's Amy Bistok and
features con-con actors
Laurel Hoffman and Elaine Feagler.

_Gidion's Knot_ opens Friday, March 20 and runs Thu-Sat at 8 p.m.
through April 11 at convergence-continuum's Liminis Theater, 2438
Scranton Rd., Cleveland, OH 44113 in the historic Tremont neighborhood.
Tickets at $20 gen. admission, $15 seniors and $10 students are
available at convergence-continuum.org and 216-687-0074.
