NT Live: The Misanthrope takes place at Ventnor Arts Club on Tuesday 22 September. The published times run from 19:00 to 21:00, a 2 hours session.
This National Theatre Live screening stars Sandra Oh in Martin Crimp's reworking of Molière's dark comedy. Filmed live on stage and directed by Indhu Rubasingham, it follows novelist Alice as her refusal to accept society's carefully managed lies brings a fierce backlash. The close, seated room brings a major London performance into Ventnor. Alice’s refusal to play along gives the audience a knotty clash of honesty, status and consequences to discuss after the credits. Ventnor Arts Club’s High Street room keeps films, talks and music at close range. The town-centre scale suits an audience that wants a focused evening and the chance to share reactions in the same room.
The screening lasts two hours and takes place indoors at Ventnor Arts Club, which suits an autumn evening built around a sharp play. The 19:00 start leaves room for dinner beforehand, and the published finish is 21:00. Browse arts and creative events for other stage and screen choices. This one earns its ticket price through a named cast, a current National Theatre production and a story with enough bite to carry the conversation home.
