Britain's What's On Event Guide
Extremism by Anders Lustgarten
One student has disappeared. Nobody knows why. Everyone has an opinion.
When a classmate is removed from school under suspicion of radicalisation, a group of teenagers are left alone to make sense of what has happened. As rumours spread and tensions rise, friendships are tested and prejudices exposed.
Written by award-winning playwright Anders Lustgarten, Extremism is a gripping and urgent drama exploring identity, belonging, fear, and the dangers of division in modern Britain.
A bold and thought-provoking production that places young voices at the centre of one of the most important conversations of our time.
Directed by Limitless Presents Founder and Black British Theatre Award-nominated writer, producer, and actress—Lucie Lutte.
Co-produced by London-based arts producer, Dimple Pau, this new revival brings together a talented cast of emerging young actors committed to telling this urgent and compelling story with honesty, nuance, and power.
Originally commissioned for the National Theatre Connections Festival in 2017, bringing Anders Lusgarten political play to a new generation of audiences at a time when its themes remain as urgent and relevant as ever.
