Description "A group of armour-clad warriors appear. They are weary but victorious. Their fight is over. They will stay in this valley and make it their home. But they have company - as yet unknown. The second group - an anarchic assembly - their appearance is bizarre and their behaviour unnerving. Both are engaged (in very different ways) in a struggle against an unseen enemy. What will happen when the two converge? There can be no shared ground. They have only one thing in common - they are all women.

Point of Convergence is a celebration of women's strength and courage in a battle for survival and a testament to their capacity for enjoyment."

As part of the Cockpit Summer Project 1985, Point of Convergence offered performance and stage management opportunities for up to thirty young women between the ages of 16-23. Rehearsals took place from 29 July to 4 September 1985.
