"elegant and chilling" GIDION'S KNOT opens March 20 at convergence-continuum
by convergence-continuum 04 Mar '20

04 Mar '20

GIDION’S KNOT OPENS FRIDAY, MARCH 20 AT CONVERGENCE-CONTINUUM 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. 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. “…resonant…[a] particularly eloquent study of people caught between the competing demands of reason, morality and family…harrowing…a narrative that is as elegant as it is chilling.” —Washington Post. “heart-stopping…the show has pathos and suspense in bucketloads…Within a lean 80 minutes, the show raises profound questions about parenting and education and documents the gut-wrenching force of maternal loyalty.” —Washingtonian. “GIDION’S KNOT is as sad as life itself, and as funny and startling as well…a beautiful, disturbing story.” —DCTheatreScene.com. Gidion’s Knot is directed by convergence-continuum’s Amy Bistok and features con-con actors Laurel Hoffman and Elaine Feagler. Tickets at $20 general admission, $15 for seniors and $10 for students are available at convergence-continuum.org and 216-687-0074. ------------------------------- Convergence-continuum’s production of Gidion’s Knot is supported in part by the residents of Cuyahoga County through a public grant from Cuyahoga Arts & Culture.
