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. Winner Laurence Olivier Award: Outstanding Achievement Winner GLAAD Award: Outstanding New York Theatre Production Winner Critics’ Circle Award: Most Promising Playwright _The Pride _is directed by convergence-continuum’s Jonathan Wilhelm and features con-con actors David Munnell, Brian Westerley, Amy Bistok and Beau Reinker. _The Pride _ opens this coming Friday, March 29 and runs Thurs-Sat at 8 pm through April 20 at the Liminis Theater, 2438 Scranton Rd, Cleveland 44113 in the historic Tremont neighborhood.
