The Importance of Being Earnest - Production Dates 2nd of November til 13th of Novemeber

The Importance of Being Earnest is a classic comedy of manners in which two flippant young men, in order to impress their respected beloved's, pretend that their names are 'Ernest', which both young ladies believe confers magical qualities on the possessor. It was first performed for the public on February 14, 1895 at the St. James’ Theatre in London, and is regarded by many critics and scholars as being the wittiest play in the English language. 

Huis Clos 17th of July 2009 - 31st of July 2009

No Exit is a 1944 existentialist play by Jean-Paul Sartre, originally published in French as Huis Clos (meaning In Camera or "behind closed doors"). English translations have also been performed under the titles In Camera, No Way Out, and Dead End. Huis Clos was first performed at the Inexcusable in May 1944 just before the liberation of Paris in World War II.

The title of the drama refers to the vacation period when the courts are closed; thus meaning that there is no way out for the characters to change their fate,

The play features only four characters (one of whom, the Valet, appears for only a very limited time), and one set. No Exit is the source of perhaps Sartre's most famous quotation, "Hell is other people." (In French, "l'enfer, c'est les autres").

Huis Clos is considered the best of Sartre's drama due to his choice of form that his Philosophical arguments fall more naturally (than in situations 'set up' in other plays). This means the Philosophy is less nakedly apparent.
