The show runs approximtely 110 minutes, just shy of two hours, including a 10 minute intermission. 

Synopsis

Lyla is finally starting to get her life together. But her friends start to worry when her good mood depends on fresh meat... Misantropy is a story of self-transformation, family and frienship told with quick humor and blood. The show performs in in 90 minutes, plus intermission.
