About The Performance

No Exit 

Directed by Mahara Sinclaire

‘No Exit’ is a 1944 existentialist play by Jean-Paul Sartre. The play was first performed at the Théâtre du Vieux-Colombier in May 1944. The play begins with three characters who find themselves waiting in a mysterious room. It is a depiction of the afterlife in which three deceased characters are punished by being locked into a room together for eternity. It is the source of Sartre’s famous phrase “L’enfer, c’est les autres” or “Hell is other people“, a reference to Sartre’s ideas about the look and the perpetual ontological struggle of being caused to see oneself as an object from the view of another consciousness.

ALLY RAFTER – Estelle

No Exit marks Ally’s first production with Peninsula. Previous shows include Present Laughter (Exit 22) Moon Over Buffalo (DCSS) and most recently, Woman in Black (JAC.)

If you enjoy live comedy, you might recognize Ally from the Unnamed Sketch Show (or you could be mistaking her for her sister who looks identical, apparently.) Ally hopes you enjoy the show and would like to thank her very patient friends, coworkers, and family for their endless support.

TONY SHTARK – Bellboy

This is Tony’s first time working with Peninsula Productions. White Rock audiences may recognize Tony from his performance as Patsy in White Rock Players’ Club 2021 production of Monty Python’s Spamalot.

Now, there’s No Exit. Enjoy the show!
