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.

Bergerac) highly anticipated play.
