Extremities

Today is a day like any other. Nothing new is planned for Marjorie's morning other than clearing away the breakfast plates left by housemates Terry & Patricia & easing her way into the afternoon, until this summer's morning brings two unwelcome visitors: the first, a wasp, stings Marjorie but escapes, the second, Raul, a stranger & serial rapist does not. This time he has met his match. The housemates return to find the tables turned and Marjorie in control of Raul but not quite of herself. Who will their loyalties lie with? Who is the victim now? And whom will they believe? Raul calculatedly plays on their fears, doubts and judgement and unleashes a contagion of hatred with Marjorie at its centre battling to maintain a balance between her animal nature and her humanity.
