Four plays from the father of existentialism. In "No Exit", three damned souls discover their personal hells are other people. In "The Flies", the Orestes myth is reworked as a young man confronts the guilt of his family's past. A professor must choose between theory and action in "Dirty Hands". And in "The Respectful Prostitute", a woman risks her life to expose American racism. Sartre's incisive, unsettling works plumb the depths of the human condition.
