NT Live: The Misanthrope

The Misanthrope

by Martin Crimp
after Molière
directed by Indhu Rubasingham
(15) 106 Mins

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

Telling the truth isnʼt 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 Crimpʼs
(Cyrano de Bergerac) highly anticipated play.
