FINAL WEEKEND!

THE PRIDE by Alexi Kaye Campbell

at convergence-continuum

THE PRIDE has its final three performances this Thurs, Fri and Sat.

"explicit, hard-hitting theater”  “an enthralling piece of theater" Mark Horning, Talkin’ Broadway

The Pride is a collage portrait of two parallel love stories, in 1958 and 2008, between two different couples, both named Phillip and Oliver.  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.
