Other inspired moments include Billy suddenly dreading bereavement, reaching into the fridge for a stiff drink, and finding his young bride tumbling into his arms — part lover, part corpse. Nonetheless, this portrait of ageing and enduring love tugs at the heartstrings, whatever your date of birth.
Yes, three is an infernal crowd, and Paul Hart's staging — in a mini-season promoting young directors under the Donmar's banner at the Trafalgar Studios — scores top marks for claustrophobia. The audience is crammed, cheek by jowl, into a tiny basement auditorium, hemming in the actors on every side.
Moreover, Will Keen's Garcin is riveting. He's the first new resident to be ushered — by a subtly sardonic valet Thomas Padden — into Sartre's gilded but mouldering chamber as designed by Lucy Osborne. Garcin is trying to keep cool and calm, with with his pencil moustache and buttoned-up suit.
But you can almost smell the fear and vexation oozing from every pore as he asks, tersely, where the expected red-hot implements of torture are kept, and if he's going to be given a toothbrush, since he's going to be staying for ever. Unfortunately, after that grippingly tense start, hell proves little more than a mild bore. Some teasing questions are raised about guilty consciences and free will as the threesome create a sort of self-service perdition, but Sartre was not a great playwright.
Huis Clos's plot twists — developing a love-hate triangle — no longer seem fiendishly clever or even startlingly boho. Indeed, the permutations of these power games now come across as schematic and repetitive. Though Hart's casting is strong, Michelle Fairley's vociferous, man-hating Ines is somewhat wearisome, with a well-to-do English accent that diminishes the class tensions.
