Spotlight Social - NT Live: The Misanthrope

Join us from 10am and enjoy a complimentary hot drink and biscuits, early box office access, and the chance to meet others locally, before settling in for an exclusive captioned screening of The Playboy of the Western World from National Theatre Live. Created for our over-65s community, these screenings are the perfect chance to meet like-minded people. 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. Written by Martin Crimp after Molière, directed by Indhu Rubasingham.
