An existentialist French play set in a room of eternal damnation Performed in the original French text with English supertitles. 

Lauren Rayner Productions presents the encore of Jean Paul Sartre's Huis Clos / ("No Exit") after a completely sold out run at the 45th Street Theatre in Manhattan during November 2012. Directed by Roxane Revon and starring Nathalie Bryant, Neyssan Falahi, Roxane Revon, and Kate Armstrong Ross,Huis Clos ("No Exit") is a 1944 French play written by existentialist Jean Paul Sartre in which three damned souls are punished by being locked into a room together for eternity.

After operating on a wait-­‐list for every performance, director Roxane Revon and producer Lauren Rayner decided to bring back the show with a partially new cast after being invited to perform in VirtualArts.TV's 2013 WiredArts Fest, which is the first of its kind, live-­‐streamed performing arts festival. Think of a Fringe Festival, but online, where the audience is global, seating is unlimited and viewers can participate in live chat discussions, interact through Twitter and Facebook, while the performance is happening.

In the popular Berlin and NYC based Arts-­‐parasites magazine, Julie Brobeck raves "This rendition was compelling and showcased some great international talents based in NYC” and Nicolas Occhiminuti of EuroVisions//NYC praised Revon’s interpretation of the classic and intriguing play writing that it “makes existentialism sound friendlier and more accessible toFrench and non-­‐French audiences of all ages while preserving its essence throughout. Let’s hope new shows soon get added!" The November production was also featured globally on the prestigious TV5Monde news network with a series of interviews.
