About this event
Part of a series of National Theatre Live Screenings, The Misanthrope is a razor-sharp reimagining Molière’s classic dark comedy. The second of a series of National Theatre Live screenings at Theatreship, we are excited to screen The Misanthrope featuring Sandra Oh ( Killing Eve ) as 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. Filmed live on stage at the National Theatre, Indhu Rubasingham directs Martin Crimp’s ( Cyrano de Bergerac ) highly anticipated play. The venue opens at 12:30pm for drinks in the bar. We advise arriving at this time to settle in, get a drink and get your seats! Please note, there is no allocated seating!

Same city and close on taste. A different discipline, on purpose.
