Clyde Simon, the Artistic Director of convergence-continuum, never steers clear of in-your-face, lurid language-laced scripts.

convergence-continuum continues its 2013 Season, Ruled by Passion, with a cutting-edge drama: the Ohio premiere of Self Defense, or death of some salesmen by Carson Kreitzer. (Ms. Kreitzer is also the author of Freakshow, which received an award-winning convergence-continuum production in 2008.) Check out a first look at Self Defense below!
