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.

Since 2009, National Theatre Live has brought acclaimed British theatre to over 5.5 million viewers worldwide, featuring productions like Phèdre with Helen Mirren, Frankenstein with Benedict Cumberbatch, and Yerma with Billie Piper. Each show is filmed live with cameras placed to give cinema audiences the “best seat in the house.”

The Tanner Humanities Center began screening National Theatre Live in 2010, now hosted at Salt Lake Film Society’s Broadway Centre Cinemas.

Individual show tickets and season tickets are available from the Tanner Humanities Center.
