GIDION'S KNOT OPENS FRIDAY, MARCH 20 AT CONVERGENCE-CONTINUUM Convergence-continuum opens its 2020 Season, "Fight Back," with _Gidion's Knot_ by Johnna Adams. Over the course of a parent/teacher conference, a grieving mother and an emotionally overwhelmed fifth-grade primary school teacher have a fraught conversation about the tragic suicide of the mother's son, Gidion. Gidion may have been bullied severely--or he may have been an abuser. As his story is slowly uncovered, the women try to reconstruct a satisfying explanation for Gidion's act and come to terms with excruciating feelings of culpability. _Gidion's Knot_ is a thought-provoking two-character play touching upon bullying, teacher/parent responsibility, the local principal's and board's decisions and policies, the school system's failures and the issue of students' freedom of expression. The face-off escalates inexorably throughout as the two women confront the audience as much as one another with their characters' pain, avoidance and degrees of guilt and regret. _Gidion's Knot_ is directed by convergence-continuum's Amy Bistok and features con-con actors Laurel Hoffman and Elaine Feagler. _Gidion's Knot_ opens Friday, March 20 and runs Thu-Sat at 8 p.m. through April 11 at convergence-continuum's Liminis Theater, 2438 Scranton Rd., Cleveland, OH 44113 in the historic Tremont neighborhood. Tickets at $20 gen. admission, $15 seniors and $10 students are available at convergence-continuum.org and 216-687-0074. ------------------------------- Convergence-continuum's production of _Gidion's Knot_ is supported in part by the residents of Cuyahoga County through a public grant from Cuyahoga Arts & Culture.
