About

Alice, a brilliant novelist, despises the hollow contemporary mantras of kindness and respect.

Alice, a brilliant novelist, despises the hollow contemporary mantras of kindness and respect.

But the bolder she becomes in speaking out, the more colleagues avoid her, and the more her personal relationships begin to fracture.As she challenges fashionable ideas and lends her voice to causes others are afraid to touch, she faces intense criticism and backlash.

Alice will soon learn the price she must pay as an artist and as a woman for daring to speak her mind.Award-winner Sandra Oh (Killing Eve) is the Misanthrope in Martin Crimp's (Cyrano de Bergerac) cutting new version of Molière's dark comedy, directed by National Theatre Director Indhu Rubasingham (The Father and the Assassin).FOR ASSISTED PERFORMANCES, PLEASE BOOK DIRECTLY THROUGH THE NATIONAL THEATRE.
