No Exit and The Criminals

An Elliott Studio Series Production

No Exit- Two women and one man are locked up together for eternity in one hideous room in Hell. The windows are bricked up, there are no mirrors, the electric lights can never be turned off, and there is no exit.

The Criminals- Lalo and his sisters, Cuca and Beba, stuck in a basement create a play-within-a-play acting out the murder of their parents. Playing all the roles in the show they take us from the killing through to its inevitable conclusion.
