The Misanthrope


national theatre liveTelling 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.

Award-winner Sandra Oh (Killing Eve) plays the title role in this razor-sharp reimagining of Molière’s classic dark comedy. Co-Starring Paul Chahidi, Tom Mison, and Abigal Cruttenden.

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

TWO SHOWS ONLY! Sunday & Tuesday, September 27 & 29 @ 10:30AM in Avalon 1
