🎭 Sneak peek from rehearsals! Here's a first look at our upcoming screening of NT Live: The Misanthrope.

📅 Tuesday 22 September | 7pm

Award-winning Sandra Oh (Killing Eve) stars in Martin Crimp's razor-sharp reimagining of Molière's classic dark comedy, directed by Indhu Rubasingham and filmed live on stage at the National Theatre.

Alice is a brilliant novelist who refuses to play by society's rules. As she challenges the carefully constructed lies around her, she discovers that telling the truth can come at a powerful cost.

Don't miss this gripping, witty and thought-provoking production on the big screen.
