"<i><span style='font-style:italic'>In the Continuum</span></i> is an
excellent script that receives a stellar performance at Cleveland Public
Theatre. This is a play that says much about world conditions and the
international AIDS crisis, in a real and compelling way. It is a must

The powerful <em><i><font face=Arial><span style='font-family:Arial'>In the
Continuum</span></font></i></em> explores the devastating problem of AIDS among
African and African-American women -- a timely and often underexposed topic.
Living worlds apart in South Central, LA and <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">Zimbabwe</st1:place></st1:country-region>, two young women
experience a bizarre weekend of darkly comic, life altering revelations. With
two actors playing dozens of roles, <em><i><font face=Arial><span
style='font-family:Arial'>In the Continuum</span></font></i></em> promises to
engage audiences in its story of parallel denials and self-discoveries. <br>
