Extremities by William Mastrosimone redefined the career of late-great Charlie’s Angels sexpot Farrah Fawcett when she starred in the 1983 Off-Broadway play (and its 1986 movie adaptation). The story also set a new standard for gritty, realistic female-male combat, usually seen in a more fantasy-driven format such as B flicks and Blaxpoitation movies – no disrespect to Pam Grier, of course.
In Silver Meteor Gallery’s production of the play, directed by Greg Milton, Dahlia Legault – CL Best of the Bay Best Female Actor – stars as Marjorie, the woman who turns the tables on a would-be rapist Raul (Robert Hooker). Points of view about how Marjorie should deal with the situation and rape in society come to the fore via roommates Terry (Nicole Smith) and Patricia (Suzy DeVore).
Proceeds from the sales go to rape counseling and domestic abuse charities.
