Death by Cues presents

No Exit: After Sartre

Death by Cues are proud to present No Exit: After Sartre as part of CATALYST, a collaboration between Cork Arts Theatre and The Everyman.

“Hell is other people.”

Joseph Garcin, Inèz Serrano, and Estelle Rigault, are brought to the same room in hell and locked inside by a mysterious Valet.

There they observe what happens on earth after their passing and try to adjust to their new reality.

While the pacifist journalist Garcin and the high-society woman Estelle believe their damnation to be a mistake, the postal clerk Inèz accepts their fate as justified.

Despite their differing viewpoints, it becomes apparent throughout the play that the three will not be tortured in hell in traditional ways but will pose as torturers to one another.

No Exit: After Sartre is a modern re-working of the darkly humorous drama which questions what happens after death and examines the significance of our existence through the lens of others. Does the life we live define our afterlife? How does self-perception differ from how others perceive us?
