You’ve
got to admire convergence-continuum for swinging for the fences with every production
it stages. Unfortunately, its rendering
of Jordan Harrison’s “Amazons and Their Men,” an offbeat off-Broadway success
in 2008, misses by a mile.

Jordan
Harrison’s “Amazons and their Men” is a well written play that tells a
fascinating and revealing story of film making and Nazi Germany. Unfortunately, the
convergence-continuum production does not live up to the potential of the
script.

From a company that has delighted and thrilled me to
no end with past performances (I was truly looking forward to this show) I was
gravely disappointed. Nothing seemed to
click…from the acting, delivery of the dialog, costumes and props…it just left
me feeling sad. Go see it to see if you
agree with me.
Christine Howey
The
script by Harrison is so continually fascinating that a spotty performance by
con-con’s four-person cast doesn’t create many obstacles. Although it would
certainly help if this production had been done in an appropriate period style
with crisp comic timing.

It's a marvelous play--but it's badly executed, the effect not unlike seeing a beautifully cut frock on a potbellied pig.

Art Thomas
The epic film that was never made by Hitler's cinema propagandist Leni Riefenstahl is the origin of this play which adds layers of interaction among actors, lovers, and figures from Greek mythology. This production probably has less humor than the playwright intended as the audience unravel the relationships.
