play title

[myron21]

I remember watching a play on bbc2 years ago about three people who were in hell, one was a coward, one a lesbian and the other was a woman who had killed her child, they were trapped in a what appeared to be a comfortable drawing room for eternity.  Does anyone know the name of the play.  I  was going to put this in the film and TV section, but I have a feeling the author is 'high brow' and would be more easily recognised in this section.

[Peter Pedant]

The one I saw was the Beeb about twenty years ago - actually it is more like the beeb forty years ago....

 

hell is other people......Jean Paul Sartre

the name will come to me in a moment.....

[Peter Pedant]

It's his 1944 play huis clos or No Exit

apparently one act and shortish to get around the then German Curfew - or should that be couvre-feu? - that was then in force....
