The Misanthrope On Screen

THE BEST OF BRITISH THEATRE ON THE ARTS CENTER SCREEN

★★★★
“Sandra Oh shines in a witty update of Molière” – Sunday Times

Award-winner Sandra Oh (Killing Eve) plays the title role in this razor-sharp reimagining of Molière’s classic dark comedy.


by Martin Crimp
after Molière
directed by Indhu Rubasingham

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 highly anticipated play.


Runtime: 105 minutes (to be confirmed)
