Kick off 2025 on an appropriately bleak and hilarious note with American Berserk Theatre’s latest hybrid work of improvised theatre HELL IS THESE FOUR PEOPLE, a riff on Sartre’s timeless existential chestnut No Exit. In each show, our four performers will invite you to join them in a different manifestation of the infernal afterlife, where their desires, fears, and regrets will fly fast and loose based on choices from you, the audience.
Lest this seems like an intellectual downer, ABT reassures you that our take on the material is very likely to contain jokes about farting, fucking, and fast food.
As promised, we will all learn that hell is indeed other people — these four people, specifically.
