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
