NO EXIT - A Play by Jean-Paul Sartre

Friday, April 29, 2016

Daniel Arts Center - Liebowitz Theater


The Simon's Rock Theatre Program presents Jean-Paul Sartre’s existential masterpiece NO EXIT

About the play:

From the great French existentialist philosopher, Jean-Paul Sartre, comes a chilling and unforgettable rendering of the “agony of the mind” or hell. Three condemned souls, Garcin, Inez, and Estelle arrive ready for eternal, fiery damnation and are shocked to find that hell is, not at all, the type of torture they expected.

Jean-Paul Sartre, novelist, playwright, and literary critic is one of the most renowned philosophers of the twentieth century. His “indefatigable pursuit of philosophical reflection, literary creativity and, in the second half of his life, active political commitment gained him worldwide renown." Although he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1964, Sartre declined the honor in protest of the values of bourgeois society.  Considered one of his masterworks, No Exit originally premiered in 1944, in Paris.
