It’s 2012, And The Mobtown Players Are Going To Hell!
BALTIMORE, MD- In a new translation of Jean-Paul Sartre’s existential classic, NO EXIT, Mobtown explores the most valuable aspect of the human condition: free will. But with freedom comes great responsibility.
Garcin, Ines, and Estelle are in “Hell,” condemned to spend eternity in one room together, forced to examine the consequences of the choices they made on Earth. The manner in which they will be “tortured” soon becomes clear as truths are revealed.
The production runs January 20 through February 11, with performances Fridays and Saturdays at 8 pm. Matinees are scheduled on Sundays, January 29 and February 5, at 4 pm.
After performing on the Mobtown stage many times over the past few years, Brian Kraszewski takes his first turn as director with this production of NO EXIT. He directs a cast and crew comprised of Mobtown board members and members of the Baltimore Rock Opera Society (BROS), many of whom performed various roles in the production of this play.
Michael Baker’s new translation was written expressly for the Mobtown Players. And with contributions from local designers, this production promises to bring exciting new elements to Sartre’s existential masterpiece.
