CONVERGENCE-CONTINUUM PRESENTS THE OHIO PREMIERE OF

TOM AT THE FARM

a psychological thriller by Michel Marc Bouchard, translated by Linda Gaboriau

Following the accidental death of his lover, urban junior ad exec, 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 lies. 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 strong-arm 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.
