National Theatre Live: the Misanthrope

Sandra Oh stars in a razor-sharp modern reimagining of Molière’s dark comedy, filmed live on stage at the National Theatre and screened at the Redgrave Theatre.

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.

Filmed live on stage at the National Theatre, Indhu Rubasingham directs Martin Crimp’s highly anticipated play.

Please note: This event is a screening and not being performed live.
