Review Excerpt
“’TALENT ENTERS SARTRE’S NO EXIT’…Jean-Paul Sartre happens to be one versatile thinker and artist who knows that philosophy is ideas and dramas are plays. His great one-act play, ‘No Exit,’ may expound existentialism, but it is also a potent depiction of the human condition…. To bring this off, the actors must not only create thoroughly believable characters of great complexity, but also interact, build upon what is said and grow into the situation. Mature professional directing and acting are required. In this production, that need is met superbly…. It may be unnecessary to say that Randy Kim as Garcin is no disappointment. As most theatergoers know by now, Kim is one of the best actors around. Extremely versatile, always energetic and reacting on stage, Kim knows what he is saying. His Garcin is very human—a kind of existential Everyman, a humorous, pathetic searching spirit. Kim makes us feel the dimensions of both hope and despair in Garcin’s final condition. The excellent production is directed with varied pacing and emphatic positioning by Chuck Bright.”
