Jean-Paul Sartre’s No Exit is a classic existentialist play in which three recently deceased strangers find themselves confined together in a room for eternity. There are no conventional instruments of torture; instead, their punishment consists of their relentless exposure to one another’s judgments, desires, and manipulations. The play gives us Sartre’s famous line, “Hell is other people,” dramatizing his philosophical concern with how the gaze of others can imprison us in identities we cannot fully control.



The book group meets at the organizer's apartment. The directions, door code, telephone number, etc., are sent in the 7-day and 1-day reminder emails, following registration.


Two spaces are reserved for new WICE members. If no new WICE members have registered by five days prior to the meeting, those two spaces will become available to the general WICE membership.

Registration for the November meeting opens on Saturday, 21 November.
