Time Out says 4 Stars

By Nina Caplan, Posted: Thu Apr 21 2011

A young woman is stung by a wasp; she captures it and begins, with shocking casualness, to torture it with her lit cigarette. She’s interrupted by a talkative stranger who seems to have got the wrong house. Except he hasn’t: for him, Margery is the wasp.

Even with the title as warning, the brutality of William Mastrosimone’s superbly written play (an Off-Broadway hit in 1982) is shocking. In a bare 80 minutes, he asks several scary questions: how should a woman react to male violence? If she gets the better of the man physically (and her wide-eyed flatmates make it clear, if we didn’t know it, how rare that is), to what extent can words continue the assault? And, most troubling, if she fights violence with its own weapons, then who is the woman and who the wasp?

Angela Bull travels convincingly from idle cruelty to enraged trauma victim (but don’t call her a victim, or she may whack you with a hammer). Her two flatmates do their best with the slightly stereotyped roles of scaredy cat and psychobabbler. And John Schumacher manages the difficult feat of being pitiable and terrifying in turn. Unlike the flatmates, we know whom to believe. Yet, at points the damage wreaked on him disgusts us – and our own suggestibility is more disgusting still.

What is left buzzing in the air of this revival is an awful, and awfully relevant, question: whose behaviour shocks us more? And if this case came to court, into which trembling body would a jury stick the long lit cigarette of the law?

Extremities - Published Thursday 21 April 2011 at 16:11 by Paul Vale

“There is great support from Hannah Dean as Terry”

A physically demanding play, Extremities offers a complex and thoughtful argument about the nature of revenge and the value of real justice. Written in the early eighties for an off-Broadway stage, it foreshadows the rise in stalking, which is currently the fastest growing crime in the UK.

Epsilon has successfully transplanted William Mastrosimone’s carefully-crafted play to the British commuter belt, and director Rob Stuart ensures that neither the atmosphere or pace suffers with the move – a task made easier by a talented ensemble of actors.

Angela Bull is particularly good as Marjorie, walking that fine line between victim and assailant, without resorting to histrionics or melodrama. Bull’s is an even tempered performance that is both provocative and engaging. There is great support from Hannah Dean as Terry and Kas Darley as the pragmatic Patricia, the flatmates who are drawn into Marjorie’s situation.

John Schumacher is excellent as the improbably named Raul, who is in turns both pitiful and frightening. The violence between Marjorie and Raul is particularly well handled, and credit should go to fight designer Lewis Penfold for some excellent attack scenes throughout the play.

Jessamy Willson-Pepper’s design has depth but no texture, and a flimsy construction is much more noticeable in this violent play.
