Simon and Janine are sent on an unexpected journey to the war-torn Middle East after their mother, who for years had remained silent, leaves them post-mortem letters with clues to the family's mysterious past. Their quest to unravel their origins leads them in search of a father and brother whose existence was previously unknown to them. Adapted into the Oscar-nominated film, Incendies, and translated into a dozen languages in over 100 productions worldwide, Scorched makes its West Coast debut at American Conservatory Theatre. The A.C.T. production features David Strathairn (Good Night, and Good Luck) as bumbling notary public Alphonse Lebel, who acts as a guide to the two twins in their search. Learn More

Quotes & Highlights
- "Wit, betrayal and cunning make Liaisons delicious... Exquisite performances." --San Jose Mercury News
Description
Deliciously wicked and perversely cynical, Les Liaisons Dangereuses (Dangerous Liasons) is an elegant game of lust, seduction, and betrayal played out in the parlors and boudoirs of 18th-century France.
When ex-lovers the Marquise de Merteuil and the Vicomte de Valmont scheme to destroy the virtue of two piously innocent women, society becomes their audience and scandal their drama.
Based on the Choderlos de Laclos novel that first shocked readers in 1782, this new version, commissioned by A.C.T., is directed and adapted by Giles Havergal, known to international audiences for his adaptation of another great novel, Graham Greene's Travels with My Aunt, seen at A.C.T. in 1997.
Les Liaisons Dangereuses features A.C.T. core acting company member Marco Barricelli (American Buffalo, Night and Day).
Written by Choderlos de Laclos
Directed and adapted by Giles Havergal
