    William Mastrosimone's 1978 play Extremities was written after extensive research in court, talking to spectactors, lawyers, defendants and plaintiffs in rape cases. The play focuses on all aspects of the crime, not just the physical act, but the psychology behind it, and the emotions that accompany it. It tells the story of a young woman named Majorie, who is confronted by a rapist (Raul) in her home and turns the tables on him, facing the latent violence in herself. Turned into a successful film in the early 1980's, Mastrosimone's drama explores the chilling boundaries of truth and violence. The unfolding events between Raul, Majorie and her roommates- Patricia and Terry are an examination of the primal human forces within us all.

    Note: This play contains strong language and violent situations.
