DARK, HUMOROUS & STRANGE: “HARM'S WAY” BY MAC WELLMAN NOW ONSTAGE AT CONVERGENCE-CONTINUUM THURS-SAT THRU APRIL 15 "There is more cussin' and shootin' and killin' than a Quentin Tarantino movie....By the way, it's a comedy" (Mark Horning, _Talkin' Broadway [1]_) "...we are plunged into the distorted world of playwright Mac Wellman, a world where common aspects of our lives – violence, con games, dead Presidents – appear as if reflected in a fun house mirror. And then you realize maybe this view isn't so distorted after all." (Christine Howey, _Rave and Pan [2]_) _Harm’s Way _, the darkly humorous fable of an angry man on a rampage through a fantastical wilderness, follows the exploits of very angry Santouche as he tries to make sense of his understanding of law and order in a nation of other very angry people. Filled with Wild West and circus sideshow imagery, the action doesn’t unfold in any specific time or place. But all the characters drink from the same poisoned well, which is definitely American. It might be anytime in the last 70 years, or even possibly in the next. _Harm’s Way _ is directed by convergence-continuum’s Artistic Director, Clyde Simon, and features actors Wesley Allen, Robert Branch, Gideon Lorete, Joseph Milan, Michael Regnier, Beau Reinker, Brian Westerley, Hillary Wheelock, Carrie Williams and Monica Zach. This is the seventh Mac Wellman play presented by convergence-continuum, having previously produced _Sincerity Forever, 7 Blowjobs, Cleveland, Whirligig, A Murder of Crows_ and _The Hyacinth Macaw._ _Harm’s Way _ runs Thu-Sat at 8 pm through April 15 at convergence-continuum’s Liminis Theater, 2438 Scranton Rd, Cleveland 44113 in the historic Tremont neighborhood.
