Hell, The Musical
written
and directed by K.S. Haddock
Music direction by Tom Beyer
based on the Sartre play, No Exit
Hell is a musical black comedy adapted from Jean-Paul Sartre's most famous play, No Exit. Hell pits two San Francisco females (a Marina chick and a Valencia Street dyke) against an American journalist-turned-Kurdish rebel. This adaptation sets the famous existential menage-a-trois into music and a language those of us living in the 21st century can all understand.
