THE PRIDE BY ALEXI KAYE CAMPBELL CONTINUES THIS WEEKEND AT CONVERGENCE-CONTINUUM _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. “Campbell’s mature ability to grip audiences with subtly truthful disclosure is matched by his skill at construction. Marks the arrival of a serious new voice in theater and the debut of the year.” —Variety. “An illuminating, moving night of theatre.” —Time Out London. “A tremendously rich and uplifting new work.” —Time Out NY. “Intriguing…imaginative, well-crafted inside and out.” —NY Daily News. _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.
