Imagine an island in hell where Cleopatra, Joan of Arc, and Queen Victoria...wait for their men. What happens when women's lib icon Anaïs Nin arrives to turn their afterlife upside down? David Stallings' new comedy, Anaïs Nin Goes to Hell explores the question of whether Sartre was right and hell really is other people, or whether we carry around our potential for damnation or salvation within ourselves.

"Atheism," nay-saying, denial, require, nothing of the tattooed, pierced, unbelted 20-somethings who contribute little to society yet much to the beer companies. I don't see what Henry Miller saw in her.
