Sandra Oh stars in Martin Crimp’s cutting new version of Molière’s 17th-century comedy, THE MISANTHROPE, coming to Playhouse Cinema September 27 & 29.

🎥 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.

📣 “Canadian superstar Sandra Oh [takes] on the main role, her terrific performance turning the original’s Alceste into a very contemporary Alice – I couldn’t take my eyes off her.” - Aleks Sierz, The Arts Desk
