"explicit, hard-hitting theater” “an enthralling piece of theater" Mark Horning, Talkin' Broadway [1] Winner of Critic Circle Award: most Promising Playwright Winner Laurence Olivier Award: Outstanding Achievement Winner GLAAD Award: Outstanding New York Theatre Production _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. _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 _ runs Thurs-Sat at 8 pm through April 20 at the Liminis Theater, 2438 Scranton Rd, Cleveland 44113 in the historic Tremont neighborhood.
