[Capdist-auditions] Actor Needed for "No Exit"

[Michele Marchese]

Show summary:

Writer: Jean-Claude Sartre
Time period: 40's

Three damned souls, Garcin, Inez, and Estelle are brought to the same room
in hell by a mysterious Valet. They had all expected medieval torture
devices to punish them for eternity, but instead find a plain room furnished
in Second Empire style. None of them will admit the reason for their
damnation. Intense character driven piece, lots of movement and dialogue,
little in the way of sets

Character summary:

Garcin - aged 45 +, world weary, detached, wants to be left alone

He is a journalist from Rio and the first to arrive in the room. He was shot
by a firing squad for attempting to desert during a war. He is also the best
of the three prisoners at dealing with damnation. He recognizes that the
three of them have been grouped together to make each other miserable and
thinks that each of them should remain silent in their respective corners.
He continually tries to make peace with himself and the people he hurt
during his lifetime. He does not question his damnation, easily recalling
how awful he had been to his wife.
