NO EXIT
The Regular Theatre
Dec. 8-9
Graydon [Over-the-Rhine]

Directed by Micah Price

Cast: Eric Minion, Katie Mitchell, Kylie Flick & Jeremiah Plessinger

Sarte’s famous existentialist play follows three people to a room in hell, where their torture is revealed to be each other’s company. Three damned souls, Garcin, Inez, and Estelle, are brought to a lavish room to await their punishment. While they expected some sort of torture chamber to punish them in the afterlife, they instead begin to realize where the true torment really lies. Their constant arguing finally has Garcin state the famous line: “Hell is other people”. An exploration of human nature and relationships, No Exit is a play brimming with sardonic wit. You’ll laugh. You’ll ponder life’s meaning. You’ll have a devilishly good time.

What if the three wise men weren’t really all that wise? What if they were just three ordinary guys, avoiding conflicts at home, who happened upon the greatest story ever told? Set in modern day America, three small town men have had it with their women! Even though it’s Christmas Eve, the boys decide to high-tail it into the mountains for a little hunting. This protest does nothing to improve the mood of their women back in town working at the local diner. It’s gonna take a Christmas miracle to get these redneck families back together! Thank God one just came to town!
