Extremism @ Jacksons Lane

As part of Jacksons Lane’s LAUNCH programme to give more professional theatre opportunities to young people, it presents Extremism, part of the National Theatre’s festival of plays for young people, Connections. Extremism, by Anders Lustgarten, watches a class react when a student is taken out of the room by his teacher – and the police. A microcosm of our battle between tolerance and fear in a multi-faith society.
