THE PLAY:

Who are you? Are you defined by the actions you do? The things you say? or are you defined by how others perceive you? These are the questions that form the centerpiece of Jean-Paul Sartre's timeless work, No Exit. Three sickeningly incompatible people Garcin, Inez and Estelle and brought to the afterlife after their deaths and are locked within a mundane room with nothing but each other's company and some medieval furniture. As the play progresses and the three converse with each other they realize the purpose of their coming together, they were each other's torturers. The coward Garcin wants to find mental validation from Estelle, who is only interested in Garcin's body. Inez, being attracted to Estelle can't validate Garcin either, but can't get Estelle. As we delve into their pasts and how their interactions evolve from that of a formality to chaos and mayhem, it drives home the message that hell is not a place of torture chambers, fire pits or steel bulls; Hell is other people.  


    

Memories of the Play :

  • This play was supposed to be the show stopper, given that it was the first full fledged semester production right after the pandemic. Therefore, there was a lot of pressure on this play. But the play pulled through and the audience turnout was great considering that there were two plays performed just the day before and compres going on for half of the first yearites.
