No Exit - Act Provocateur - One4Review

Following on to last years critically acclaimed success of this adaptation of Sartre’s play, for their 10th Anniversary Act Provocateur International are restaging it once more, this time slightly longer as part of their contribution to th Fringe 2005. Three primary characters, Garcin, a South American editor and maybe traitor played by Andy McQuade, Inez, a postal worker played by Domaniquue Pannell and Estelle, a socialite, Nika Khitrova are confined together in Hell, but where are the torturers? This is a powerful and graphic performance from all of the above as the three incarcerates discover that maybe instruments are not required for the torture and maybe their personalities and the sexual attraction, and aversion are all that is required. I thought that last years production was powerful, but I hadn’t been prepared for what was on offer this year. Okay, for some it may be too graphic and occasionally too violent, but it is a really strongly directed piece, and the acting performances are second to none. *****
