Live theater from Britain’s most exciting stages offers the immersive experience of seeing exceptional productions at the MFAH.
Emmy-winner Sandra Oh (Killing Eve) plays Alice in this razor-sharp reimagining of Molière’s dark comedy. Alice is a brilliant novelist who 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 and Christine Lalla direct Martin Crimp’s (Cyrano de Bergerac) highly anticipated play.
