Plot Summary
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 is the Misanthrope in Martin Crimp's cutting new version of Molière's dark comedy, directed by National Theatre Director Indhu Rubasingham.
