Dr. ZiUmer pointed out that “No Exit” is generally regarded as Sartre’s best play and has been otitstahd- ing fare for theatre goers in Western Europe and America for the past decade. The drama portrays some of the contemporary attempts by man to understand himself in a universe in which he can no longer be satisfied .by many of the traditional cli ches of thinking. It shows a man and two women in their “residence” in the - after-life facing the ultimate destruc tion of losing their individual ity.
