Background:

The two one-act plays No Exit, by Jean Paul Sarte and Spike Heels, by Theresa Rebeck kick off the 2002-2003 season at the E. Melba Johnson Kirkpatrick Laboratory Theatre. Both plays are student-directed and student-run. While the two plays were written by separate writers, each examine twisted love triangles, and the lovers caught within them.

No Exit is the story of three strangers placed in a single room for all of eternity. The three are sentenced to this "Hell" for their treatment of others on Earth. The act portrays the threesomes’ desire and demise as they are bound inextricably together forever.

Spike Heels tells the tale of a woman, Georgie, who finds herself in a love triangle with two men, Andrew and Edward. Although one of the men is married, the three fight like dogs and stab each other in the back all in the name of love and sex.
