Bookings are now open for our second Mockingbird Too production for 2026, No Exit, a darkly funny existential classic where escape is impossible — and the real torture is each other.
Step into the eternal chamber of No Exit, Sartre’s darkly comic classic. Three souls arrive, expecting torture – but discover their fate is far more insidious: each is condemned to be the tormentor of the other. In this elegant, merciless one-act, there are no rack and flame, only sharp words, shifting power and the cruelty of being seen – or mission – by someone else.
Timeless, essential theatre. No Exit is one of those rare plays that demands to be seen and discussed again and again.

Happy Students
Chris has created something truly special with the Mockingbird classes – an incredibly supportive community free of judgement, where people are encouraged to take risks, be themselves and have fun! I’ve learnt so much more than I ever expected – about acting and about myself – under Chris’ guidance. The classes are truly the highlight of my week! I can’t overestimate how much joy and value Mockingbird brings to us all!
