Huis clos ; suivi de Les mouches

"If you know nothing about Sartre and want to get a quick peek into his philosophy, Huis Clos (No Exit) is an accessible start. Two women and a man are escorted to a large room which they will share for eternity. Within minutes, it's clear why these three have been thrown together; each has exactly the personality and character flaws designed to drive the other two mad. As we learn about the blighted lives the three have lived and watch them squabble and torment each other, we understand the truth of the play's most famous line, "L'enfer, c'est les autres", ("Hell is other people")."
