Real Art Daily Productions (RADProd)  proudly presents our company's kick off production, Jean-Paul Sartre's 1944 existentialist play, No Exit. Three strangers are locked together in a belligerently distasteful  room for eternity. Without the expected torture to occupy them, they are forced to simply exist. There is no escape: from the room, each other, and worst of all themselves. With a set design inspired by Bauhaus style and German Expressionism, we aim to immerse the audience into the characters' claustrophobic world. Join us for a bout of existential absurdity!
