CONVERGENCE-CONTINUUM PRESENTS THE OHIO PREMIERE OF

TOM AT THE FARM

by Michel Marc Bouchard, translated by Linda Gaboriau

OPENING THIS FRI, JULY 12

Convergence-continuum presents the Ohio premiere of Tom at the Farm by Michel Marc Bouchard, translated by Linda Gaboriau, opening Friday, July 12. This psycho-sexual thriller is the third play in con-con’s 2019 Season: Star-Crossed.

Following the accidental death of his lover, urban junior ad executive, Tom, travels from the city to a remote farm in rural Ontario for the funeral. There he finds a religious family who knows nothing of his existence, and is blindsided by his lost boyfriend’s legacy of untruth. The mother is expecting a girlfriend. His dead boyfriend’s brother is hell-bent on preserving a facade of “normalcy.”  This causes some pretty humorous moments when Tom’s gal-pal shows up; however, the brother’s obsession also brings him to drag Tom into a twisted and brutal sexually-charged game to coerce Tom into joining the lies, until Tom finally confronts the torment that drove his lover to live in the shadows of deceit.

Tom at the Farm is directed by convergence-continuum’s Tom Kondilas. Members of the acting ensemble are Mike Frye, Daniel McElhany, Laura Starnik and Madelyn Voltz.

Tom at the Farm opens this Friday, July 12 and runs Thu-Sat at 8 p.m. through August 3 at the Liminis Theater, 2438 Scranton Rd., Cleveland 44113 in the historic Tremont neighborhood.  Fri and Sat tickets are $20 general admission, $15 for seniors and $10 for students.  Thurs tickets are $15 gen. admission, $12 seniors and $8 students.
