No Exit

"A poignant and extremely engrossing performance."

Based on the film adaptation of Jean-Paul Sartre's 1944 play, No Exit, is an existentialist drama that examines identity and self-deception through the lens of its three disagreeable characters.

Garcin, Inez and Estelle have died, and are locked in an eternal hell: a room from which there is no escape, bound to each other for eternity. While a 90-minute existentialist play at 10pm might seem like a hard slog, No Exit ends up a poignant and extremely engrossing performance that inspires the same slow-dawning feelings of terror that the actors portray so flawlessly.
