Act
Provocateur International are staging a specially adapted one hour
version of Jean-Paul Sartre's three hour original of No Exit.
What has been achieved is a
play with such intensity that it really gives the feel of being
trapped in Hell, with the three characters, Inez, Estelle and
Garcan.
Superb
writing, immense acting performances, powerful direction and
interesting lighting all add to the spectacle that left me feeling
emotionally drained, so I can only imagine how the actors felt.
It
is revealed how the three came to be there and that they were
their own torturers with no need for outside assistance and they
are certainly accomplished in these roles.
The
performance is occasionally explicit, often violent so would not
suit everyone, but it is one of the most powerful plays I've seen
for years.
