“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.” —National Theatre Live
“Molière’s misanthrope here is a bestselling writer in a stylish trouser suit, gender-reversed as Alice and Americanised in the formidable form of Sandra Oh. In the best dramatic moments it contains some riveting acting from Oh, who brings heart, fire, vulnerability and comic timing. There is some very fine direction by Indhu Rubasingham too on Robert Jones’s set of drawing rooms, which are marked by modern opulence, but with edges of 17th-century baroque.” —Arifa Akbar, The Guardian
