'No Exit' Tells Of Mental Tortures Of Hell
April 7, 1971
by Mary Anne Yarbrough
Every person has his own idea
of what hell is like. It has been
said that each man creates his
hell. The Tarleton Players
viewers a glimpse of the
three people created for
themselves and each other in
their production of'No Exit.'
The one-act play, written by
Jean-Paul Sarte, is a tense drama
own
gave
hell
telling the author's opinion of
what hell will be like: A hell of
mental pain, rather than physical
torture.
There are only four perform-
ers in the entire hour and forty-
five minute production. One role,
that of Satan's 'butler,' played
by Rickey Cruz is only a sup-
porting part, leaving the play for
the most part to the three ill-
destined inhabitants.
Garcin, played excellently by
Leo G. Hagman, is, or rather'
was, a newspaper reporter who
refused to fight in military ser-
vice. Like the famous Shake-
spearean quote '...Cowards die
a thousand deaths.,.,' Garcin is
haunted by the brand of coward
hung on his memory.
To completely seal his fate,

he was also an unfaithful hus-
band. Which brings to mind the
question, could a man who
brought his lover into the same
house as his wife, then made"
love to her while liis wife slept
upstairs, really be a coward?
Estelle was admirably played
by Billie Van Item, in her first
role as an actress. Estelle was a
beautiful woman who married
an older man for security. Her
greatest hell was not having a
mirror or glass to show her re-1
flection.
She presented what is prob-
ably one" of the first reactions
many of us would give. That is,
that the whole thing was some
dreadful mistake. Further inves-
tigation naturally turns up ade-
quate reasons for her to be in
her present predicament.
A love affair, an unwanted
illegitimate child, a drowning,
and the suicide of her lover re-
veal the ugliness inside of her
beautiful facade.
Mrs. Van Item displayed an-
other talent in her art. She had
several works on display in the
back of the theatre during the
play's run,
Harriett Boyett's portrayal
of Inez was superb. She was cold
and hard and gave the Impres-
sion of not being the least bit
upset about being in her present
state. Inez's story was perhaps
the strangest of the three. She
had no regrets and did hot mind
admitting that she was a 'damn
bitch.'
Inez lived with her cousin and
his wife, Josephine. She- even-
tually took Josephine from hiin
and drove him to his death.
One night she turned the gas
stove .on and 'ended it' for both,
Inez kept her composed,
strong attitude during the entire
play and presented a very inter-
esting contrast to Garcin's shak-
ing, weak and frightened make-
up,
A very excellent stage debut,
on the part of Harriett Boyett,
and a bright future is predicted
for this young star.
All three performers must be
given due credit. It's easy to
look good when you are sur-
rounded by 60 other performers
and lavish scenery; it's quite a
different matter when the en-
tire play is left in the hands of
four people and a few props.
When you look good in that sit-
uation, it has to be talent.
When people see or hear
something they don't under-
stand, they simply brush it off
as being 'dumb.' When they see
or hear something that hits close
to hidden personal thoughts,
they don't like it. When''they
see or hear something''that
arouses them from their dom-
fortable security, they disregard
it as not good.
Yet when their minds begin
to wander, as all minds do,
their thoughts wander back to
the small Second Empire draw-
ing room and the three who
came to the place of 'No Exit.'
