NT Live: The Misanthrope

Experience Molière’s sharp and witty comedy The Misanthrope, filmed live from the West End and screened at Reading Rep Theatre.

Step into the glittering world of high society with The Misanthrope, a sharp and entertaining new production of Molière’s classic comedy.

At the centre of the story is Alceste, a man who refuses to hide his opinions or play along with society’s polite conventions. Surrounded by gossip, flattery, romance and social games, his uncompromising honesty quickly puts him at odds with the world around him.

This National Theatre Live screening brings the production from the stage to the big screen at Reading Rep Theatre, offering audiences the chance to experience the performance on film in a local cinema setting.

The event is part of Reading Rep’s Film Screening programme.
