World of Theater Explored in The Fool and the Red Queen

In the latest comic meditation from renowned playwright Murray Mednick, The Fool and the Red Queen experiments with archetypes to explore human nature and the processes of theater. A struggling actor named Gary finds himself at a nightmarish audition where the audience discovers the magical ability of the theater to create new realities -- in this case, a darkly funny and improvised play-within-a-play similar to Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf and Marie and Bruce. Driven by poetic impulse rather than linear storytelling, The Fool and the Red Queen is a ruefully funny, lyrical look at the theater and the natural elements that drive us all. Learn More

I went to see this show because one of the actors is a friend of mine, his name is Matthew. Not knowing what this show was about, except it had to do with Hell, I wasn't too sure about it. Normally I'm into fluffy type musicals, so this was a big stretch for me. But I can honestly say after seeing it, I was quite impressed with the play! All the performers did an excellent job in their roles. The play was very artsy and even with their wild costumes they wore, it certainly had a message to it. Seeing this play opened my eyes to a new concept of theatre, and I really enjoyed myself. And of course, a special BRAVO goes out to Matthew for his exceptional performance...who knew someone with a quiet speaking voice had such a dynamic vocal range suited for the theatre? You rocked, Matthew, and I can't wait to see you in your next gig!Written on May 07 2008

No Exit at the Lounge is exceptionally good theater and riveting experience. The stylized approach taken gives a fresh perspective to a play that words are as relevent as it was when it opened in 1944. I found all elements of the production excellent.Written on Apr 30 2008

More Information About Jean-Paul Sartre's No Exit
Description
With the service of a mysterious Valet, one by one, each is led into a simply set room, awaiting the fury and wrath of Hell. As each character evaluates the way they led their lives on earth, the trio slowly comes to grasp that each is the other’s eternal torturer. When triangular relationships develop, they struggle to acquire something from another that cannot – or will not – be surrendered. Thus, all three are doomed to a perpetual stalemate of torture and the ultimate realization that “Hell is just other people.” The fantastical costume and make-up designs strongly contrast the refined dialogue and setting but are united through unconventional movement and music. Two women. One man. No exit.
