In Extremis: The Story of Abelard & Heloise is a play by Howard Brenton on the story of Heloise and Abelard, which premiered at the Globe Theatre on 27 August 2006 with a 15 performance run.[1] The play was directed by John Dove with design by Michael Taylor, and music by William Lyons.[2] It was revived for a two-week run from 15 May 2007 with the same director and most of the same cast.[3]
An early draft of the play was written in 1997 at the University of California at Davis during Brenton's term as its Granada Fellow, and performed by MFA students of its Drama Department (with Sarah Pia Anderson directing).[4][3]
