no exit
by Jean Paul Sartre
Adapted from the French by Paul Bowles
July 23 - Aug 2 | Off Center for Dramatic Arts
Two women and one man are locked up together for eternity in one hideousroom in Hell. There are no mirrors, the electric lights can never be turned off, and there is no exit.
The irony of this Hell is that its torture is not of the rack and fire, but of the burning humiliation of each soul as it is stripped of its pretenses by the cruel curiosity of the damned. Here the soul is shorn of secrecy, and even the blackest deeds are mercilessly exposed to the fierce light of Hell. Famously, Hell is other people.
"In Camera" was the original translation of the French title "Huis Clos", for what we've come to know as "No Exit". Steal Fire will deliver a "No Exit" that takes the original title translation "In Camera" literally. This production integrates the use of camera, projection, and live theatre, uniquely mixing mediums to deliver a cutting edge performance you won't soon forget.
NO EXIT is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc.
