WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Fresh from sold-out performances across Canada, Jean-Paul Sartre's redefined classic makes its U.S. debut at A.C.T. A mysterious valet ushers three people into a shabby hotel room, and they soon discover that hell isn't fire and brimstone at all--it's other people arguing about their lives. Sartre's 1944 existential classic, skillfully reimagined through the perspective of a series of hidden cameras, turns the stage into a cinema, and the audience into voyeurs, as a thrillingly staged "live film" takes place before your eyes. A.C.T. continues its tradition of welcoming the work of innovative international artists to the Bay Area with this riveting multimedia event.

Jean-Paul Sartre's 1944 play No Exit has occasionally been performed under the title In Camera, a literal translation of the original French title, Huis Clos. Now, Vancouver's Electric Company Theatre and The Virtual Stage have taken that definition one step further in their exceptional, multi-media production, being presented at American Conservatory Theatre.
Conceived and directed by Kim Collier, the existential classic becomes a cinéma vérité experiment, where the bulk of the action -- such as it is in the one act, single-room setting -- takes place off stage and is projected back to the audience on three large screens. It's a bold move that may have some theatergo[...]
