Place yourself within a relatively bare room from which you cannot escape with the two people you despise the most, and you have just placed yourself in the shoes of Sartre's characters, Garcin, Inez, and Estelle. 'Where are the instruments of torture...the racks and red-hot pincers and all the other paraphenalia?' Garcin asks when he is shown his room. It is a common question among all three characters. However, Sartre's hell is but a drawing room with no torture devices, fire, or grusome figures as in Dante's Inferno. As haunting stories of muder, infidelity, and cowardice spill out, three strangers learn what Hell really is.
