National Theatre Live: The Misanthrope

Alice (Sandra Oh) is a successful novelist who rejects what she sees as the carefully constructed lies of modern society. As she openly challenges the people around her, she faces increasing backlash and the consequences of speaking her mind.

Filmed live on stage at the National Theatre, “The Misanthrope” is directed by Indhu Rubasingham and adapted by Martin Crimp, whose credits include “Cyrano de Bergerac.”
