NOW ONSTAGE ONLY TWO MORE WEEKENDS!

CONVERGENCE-CONTINUUM PRESENTS THE OHIO PREMIERE OF

TOM AT THE FARM

a psycho-sexual thriller by Michel Marc Bouchard, translated by Linda Gaboriau

“Tom at the Farm ... unfolds with blurred boundaries between lust and brutality, truth and fiction.  It blends psychological-thriller elements as it moves toward an unsettling plunge into a nightmare of fear, intolerance and fantasy.” (Roy Berko, Cleveland Theatre Reviews)

Following the accidental death of his lover, junior ad exec Tom travels from the city to a remote farm in the country for the funeral. There he finds a religious family who knows nothing of his existence, and is blindsided by his dead boyfriend’s legacy of lies. The mother is expecting a girlfriend, while his late boyfriend’s brother is obsessed with preserving a facade of “normalcy,” which causes some awkwardly funny moments when Tom’s gal-pal shows up. However, the brother’s perverse obsession also brings him to drag Tom into a twisted and brutal sexually-charged game to strong-arm Tom into joining in on the lies, until Tom finally confronts the torment that drove his lover to live in the shadows of deceit.
