LiveWire Chicago Theatre Presents
NO EXIT

by Jean-Paul Sartre
Directed by Christopher Dennis
October 12 - November 5, 2006
at the side project theatre
Starring...
Danielle O'Farrell (ESTELLE)
Don Hall (CRADEAU)
Saren Nofs-Snyder (INEZ)
and Jeremiah Musgrove (BOY)
Dennis’s production is appropriately dark and chilling but carries moments of comic relief (many coming from Hall’s jittery, sweaty version of Cradeau). Perhaps most jarring in the 60-year-old piece is the realization that, placed in a cell with a traitor and a child killer, Inez’s greatest sin was being unapologetically gay. Chicago newcomer Nofs-Snyder’s icy malice, however, makes it clear that Inez is the darkest soul in the room. Kris Vire (TimeOut Chicago)
