"Extremities"
is a brilliantly-written play, loaded with emotion and dangerously
believable dialogue, and spiked with surprising twists and turns.
Set in the present-day, "Extremities"
is every woman’s worst nightmare come true – with a twist. Majorie,
attacked by a serial killer who enters her home, manages to overpower him
and proceeds to torture him. Her roommates arrive home and she finds
herself having to defend herself once again, in an effort to convince them
that an attempted rape had indeed taken place.
The
play is a psychological battle fought on the continuum of right and wrong,
the extremities of which are legally and morally tugged upon and stretched
to fit the particular motives of each character.
Playwright
William Mastrosimone’s "Extremities" won the Outer Critics
Circle Award for Best Play and The John Gassner Award for Playwriting and
later was made into a major motion picture.
Director
Trevor Ryan has again assembled a strong cast of well-known
Cork
actors including
Conor Dwane
, Linda Kent, Joy Buckle and Emma Cotter for what promises to be a
gripping, not-to-be-missed production of "Extremities".
