Jerry Mouawad stages the collaboration with Massachusetts' American Repertory Theatre (where the show previously performed) to play at the Connecticut stage through Nov. 12. Opening night is Oct. 18 for the run that uses the Stuart Gilbert translation.

"In the play, three strangers, each with an illicit past, form a bizarre love triangle while trapped together for eternity in a locked drawing room," reads a show description of the Sartre classic. Mouawad sets his production on a giant ever-shifting floor of his own design.

The A.R.T. cast of No Exit returns, featuring Remo Airaldi (Camino Real, 8 by Tenn - Hartford Stage), Will LeBow (A.R.T.'s Marat/Sade, Nocturne), Karen MacDonald (A.R.T. founding member The Miser, The Birthday Party) and Paula Plum (A.R.T.'s Lysistrata, The Marriage of Bette and Boo).

The design team for No Exit includes Kenneth Helving (lighting), Rafael Jaen (costumes) and David Remedios (sound).
