Synopsis
In Extremis uses the love affair of Abelard and Heloise to explore the relationships between logic and religion, humanism and fundamentalism, faith and power. Set in 12th century France, the play focuses on the exploration of two types of Christianity - the mysticism and austerity of Bernard of Clairvaux, and the challenge set by a new rational philosophy extolled by the erudite, sensual and dangerously independent, Peter Abelard.

I thought that In Extremis by Howard Brenton was an excellent play, with excellent actors and actresses to play the parts. I also thought that Jack Laskey as Bernard of Clairvaux played the part fantasically and also William Mannering as Lotholf was wonderful. I think that the actors made the play come alive and I would like to thank them all for the best play I have ever seen....
