NTLive – The Misanthrope

Summary

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.
