NT Live: The Misanthrope

Sat 26 Sep 2026

Directed by Indhu Rubasingham (director of the National Theatre), Sandra Oh (Killing Eve) plays the title role in this gripping take on Molière’s classic dark comedy by  Martin Crimp’s (Cyrano de Bergerac).

This highly anticipated play follows Alice, a brilliant novelist, who 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 at the National Theatre!
