In a dramatic retelling of Molière's "The Misanthrope," award-winning actress Sandra Oh brings to life the complexities and darker aspects of humanity in this live performance at QUAD in Derby. The event promises an enthralling exploration of truth, hypocrisy, and the human condition through Alice’s eyes as she navigates a world where honesty is often not enough.
Award-winner Sandra Oh (Killing Eve) plays 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.
Tickets – £17 (standard) & £15 (concessions)
