National Theatre Live: The Misanthrope

National Theatre Live: The Misanthrope tickets in Aylesbury

A film screening of the National Theatre's production of The Misanthrope, written by Martin Crimp after Molière and directed by Indhu Rubasingham, comes to the Norman Bragg Studio in Aylesbury. Sandra Oh plays Alice, a novelist whose uncompromising honesty sets her against the polished deceptions of those around her.

The production

Alice, a brilliant novelist, finds that her refusal to accommodate the carefully constructed lies of modern society provokes increasingly fierce opposition. The more she challenges those around her, the greater the backlash, until she must reckon with what speaking her truth actually costs.

Indhu Rubasingham directs Martin Crimp's play, which is described as a reimagining of Molière's dark comedy. The production was filmed live at the National Theatre and is presented at the Norman Bragg Studio as a screening rather than a live performance.
