Students Direct & Perform Sartre’s “No Exit”

Under the direction of Jordan Liebowitz ’06, Jean-Paul Sartre’s “No Exit” was performed in the Wean Studio Theatre of the Armstrong-Hipkins Center for the Arts on February 24 and 25. According to the director, the play is the story of three people who die and are sent to hell. Said Jordan, “When they arrive, they are shocked to find that hell is nothing like they imagined it. The three, Joseph Garcin, played by Maxwell Doyle ’06; Inez Serrano, played by Roileigh Olson ’09; and Estelle Rigault, played by Lotte Lijnzaad ’09, are escorted to their room by the Valet, played by Kyle Turner ’06. The characters are dumbfounded when they find that they are to spend the rest of eternity in a drawing room with the other two, whom they have never met before. As they slowly discover their own reasons for being in hell, they look to their roommates for redemption, only to find that ‘Hell is other people.’ The play questions what a man or woman is and proposes a unique portrayal of the true meaning of agony.”
