"NO EXIT" in the Windows

No Exit runs August 26th-30th in the “Fishtank Window Play” series at the Fishtank Theater


EVERYONE DIES TOO SOON, OR TOO LATE.

Hell is not what it’s supposed to be in Jean-Paul Sartre’s No Exit. When three recently deceased meet in the afterlife, façade is roughly stripped away and the differences between what they want to believe and the harsh realities of their existence make eternal rest torturous: no matter how desperately you cling to illusions, the truth must be faced.

Adapted & performed by Anna Day, Marianne McKenzie, Charlie Weitcamp & Ethan Zogge. Directed by Ethan Zogge
Curated by Heidi Van & produced in partnership with the Umkc University Theatre Association.
