Damian Lewis leads an outstanding ensemble with Tara Fitzgerald, Keira Knightley and Dominic Rowan in Martin Crimp’s stunning adaptation of Moliere’s greatest comedy, The Misanthrope.

The action moves from 17th century Paris to modern-day London, where Alceste (Damian Lewis – best known for his role in Band of Brothers) is a famous British playwright who is disillusioned and angry with the hypocrisy, shallowness and vanity of the contemporary world he inhabits. Vowing to reject society, Alceste’s plans are derailed by the appearance of Jennifer (Keira Knightley), with home he falls madly in love. Jennifer is an ambitious American film star and darling of the social scene, and she may well prove to be his biggest challenge yet. Alceste finds himself torn in two.
