No Exit

By Jean Paul Sartre
Adapted by Paul Bowles

There is no escaping  "No Exit", written by Jean-Paul Sartre and adapted by Paul Bowles. This play explores the idea of one’s own personal hell by presenting us with a virtually empty room holding three people who seem destined to torture one another. Estelle, Inéz and Garcin are three “fully formed souls” that are being faced with their choices in life, the consequences of those choices, and the painful judgment of others. The end of this twisted journey of self-awareness will leave everyone wondering what in the “hell” is really going on.
