My enthusiasm for The Good Place and its podcast led me to this play. It’s incredibly effective and easily illustrates why hell is other people.

Metaphor for marriage. (Joke.) (Kind of.)

Brilliant bit of a play. Quick and free-flowing. Very enjoyable.

No Exit has 3 main bullet points :
1 although we all have different values and perspectives in the end what matters are the choices we make and how we act and behave and carry ourselves.
2 our actions shape the world around us.
3 there is nothing quite as fiendish as having your actions seen by someone else, for they alone hold the power to validate or condemn our actions. To be seen is to be judged and to be judged is to be controlled and to be controlled is to be severed from our internal thoughts and values; hell.

Being a short play, it tends to be followed by Les Mouches/The Flies, a tale of radical freedom and authenticity and they pair well together highlighting each other's main themes.
