Written by William Mastrosimone, Extremities is a serious exploration of sexual assault. Marjorie is assaulted in her home by Raul, a man who seemed to appear from thin air. However, Marjorie fights back and is able to capture her assailant and tie him up. When her two roommates return, they argue about what to do. Should they punish Raul themselves? Should they call the police? They have control over the rapist and they must consider the extremes of human behavior; mercy, hatred, torture, compassion, and violence. Audience members are challenged to explore their own feelings, prejudices and fears regarding sexual assault in our culture.
