                                          GIDION’SKNOT OPENSFRIDAY, MARCH 20

AT CONVERGENCE-CONTINUUM

Gidion’s Knot opens Friday, March 20 and runs Thu-Sat at 8 p.m. through April 11 atconvergence-continuum’s Liminis Theater, 2438 Scranton Rd., Cleveland, OH 44113in the historic Tremont neighborhood.

Over the courseof a parent/teacher conference, a grieving mother and an emotionallyoverwhelmed fifth-grade primary school teacher have a fraught conversationabout the tragic suicide of the mother's son, Gidion.  Gidion may have been bullied severely—or hemay have been an abuser. As his story is slowly uncovered, the women try toreconstruct a satisfying explanation for Gidion's act and come to terms withexcruciating feelings of culpability.

Gidion’sKnot is a thought-provokingtwo-character play touching upon bullying, teacher/parent responsibility, thelocal principal’s and board’s decisions and policies, the school system’sfailures and the issue of students’ freedom of expression. The face-offescalates inexorably throughout as the two women confront the audience as muchas one another with their characters’ pain, avoidance and degrees of guilt andregret.

Gidion’s Knot is directed by convergence-continuum’s Amy Bistokand features con-con actors Laurel Hoffman and Elaine Feagler.

Tickets at $20 general admission, $15for seniors and $10 for students are available at convergence-continuum.org and216-687-0074.
