National Theatre Live: The Misanthrope

Thu 8 Oct from 18:30 till 21:10

Prize-winning Sandra Oh (Killing Eve) plays the title role in this razor-sharp reinterpretation of Molière's classic dark comedy.

Telling the truth is not always so simple. Alice, a brilliant writer, despises the carefully constructed lies of modern society. But the more she challenges the people around her, the more intense the backlash becomes. Soon, she discovers the downside of speaking her truth in a world that would rather silence her.

Recorded live on the stage of the National Theatre, Indhu Rubasingham directs the long-awaited play by Martin Crimp (Cyrano de Bergerac).
