Review: Anders Lustgarten's "Extremism" at The Cockpit Theatre – A Timely Revival

Anders Lustgarten’s play may have been written in 2017, but its core subject could be lifted off today’s newspapers. As right-wing propaganda gains more traction by the day, this is a revival of staggering relevance. Extremism sees a secondary school being rattled by the fallout of radicalisation. We witness the aftermath of a severe accusation made against one of the students, which led him to be removed from the premises by the police. Friendships crumble and beliefs are tested.
