NT Live: The Misanthrope (15): 24th September

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.

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