No Exit (French: Huis clos, pronounced[ɥiklo]) is a 1944 existentialist French play by Jean-Paul Sartre.
The play was first performed at the Théâtre du Vieux-Colombier in May 1944.[1] The play centers around a depiction of the afterlife in which three deceased characters are punished by being locked into a room together for eternity.
It is the source of Sartre's especially famous phrase "L'enfer, c'est les autres" or "Hell is other people", a reference to Sartre's ideas about the look and the perpetual ontological struggle of being caused to see oneself as an object from the view of another consciousness.[2]
