OUR NEXT PRODUCTION...
Le Misanthrope
23 to 23 September 2026
Sandra Oh and Paul Chahidi star in a sharp and stylish retelling of Molière’s classic satire, directed by Indhu Rubasingham and filmed live at the National Theatre.
This modern, gender-reversed adaptation of Molière’s dark comedy has been transferred to modern-day London’s artistic elite rather than French court nobility. Bestselling novelist Alice openly rejects the hollow, performative niceties, superficial kindness and modern social compliance of contemporary public life. As she speaks her mind more aggressively and supports taboo causes, her professional circle distances itself and her personal relationships break down.
Start time: 700pm. The running time is under 2 hours without an interval.
What’s on at The Apollo Theatre in Newport, Isle of Wight
Welcome to the Apollo Theatre
The Apollo Theatre is a member of the Little Theatres Guild of Great Britain (LTG). The building was originally a tiny Methodist chapel in Newport, Isle of Wight, which was bought in 1970 and converted by a team of dedicated volunteers under the inspired leadership of John Hancock, whose idea the whole thing was and without whose commitment and enthusiasm we wouldn’t be what we are now – the Island’s premier little theatre. The first productions were put on the Apollo stage in 1972 – and what a long way we’ve come since then!
