Photo Coverage: Inside Opening Night of Pearl Theatre Company's NO EXIT

Mar. 10, 2014  

The Pearl Theatre Company continues its 30th anniversary season-the second season in its new home on West 42nd Street-with a new production of No Exit by Jean-Paul Sartre, adapted from the French by Paul Bowles. Linda Ames Key, making her Pearl debut, directs this touchstone of French existentialism in its first Off-Broadway production in over 15 years. The cast includes Pearl Resident Acting Company(RAC) member Jolly Abraham as Inez and Pearl RAC member Branford Cover as Cradeau along with Sameerah Luqmaan-Harris as Estelle and Pete McGilligot as Valet. BroadwayWorld brings you photos from opening night below!

Performances of No Exit will continue through March 30 at The Pearl Theatre. The Pearl Theatre is located at 555 West 42nd Street in New York City. Tickets are $65 ($50 previews, $35 seniors, $20 student rush, $20 Thursday rush) and can be purchased by visiting pearltheatre.orgor calling 212.563.9261.

Written in 1944, three months before Paris would be liberated from German occupation, Sartre's darkly comic masterpiece centers on three strangers who find themselves thrown together in hell. Damned to spend eternity in one another's company, the characters can only see themselves through one another's eyes. Their curiosity quickly turns cruel.
