The Misanthrope (Screening)
By Martin Crimp after Molière
Directed by Indhu Rubasingham
Synopsis
★★★★ ‘Sandra Oh shines in a witty update of Molière’s Misanthrope.’ – Sunday Times
★★★★ ‘Killing Eve star kills it.’ – Metro
‘Sandra Oh brings heart, fire, vulnerability and comic timing’ – Guardian
Award-winner Sandra Oh (Killing Eve) plays the title role in this razor-sharp reimagining of Molière’s classic dark comedy.
Telling the truth isn’t always that simple. Alice, a brilliant novelist, despises the carefully constructed lies of modern society. But the more she challenges those around her, the fiercer the backlash becomes. Soon, she must confront the price of speaking her truth in a world that would rather silence her.
Filmed live on stage at the National Theatre, Indhu Rubasingham directs Martin Crimp’s (Cyrano de Bergerac) highly anticipated play.
