Tempted by the prophecies of three mysterious witches, Macbeth’s ambition to be King leads him into a nightmarish world of evil, deceit and murder.

Set in a futuristic apocalyptic world, this classic tale of power, killing, ghosts and madness promises to be like nothing audiences have ever seen on the Patten-Wing Theatre stage.

First performed off Broadway in 1982, the themes in this powerful drama resonate as loudly today as they did almost three decades ago. The story centers on Marjorie, who is attacked in her home by rapist Raul, but she is able to turn the tables on her attacker. What follows is a study on the differing views of rape in society as seen through the eyes of Raul, Marjorie and her two roommates. “Extremities” is not just a story of victim and perpetrator, vengeance and power, but also it is an exploration into self-preservation. (Directed by Dakota Wesleyan BFA student Jessica Phillips.)
