convergence-continuum continues its 2010 Season at the Liminis theatre with the Ohio premiere of Hunter Gatherers, an outrageous knock-about comedy, by Peter Sinn Nachtrieb. With Hunter Gatherers, Peter Sinn Nachtrieb (playwright of boom) has concocted a combination of zany farce and wicked social satire.

A darkly comic evening where the line between civilized and primal human is blurred, and where not everyone will survive long enough to enjoy the brownies for dessert.
