Les Liaisons Dangereuses
by Christopher Hampton
based on the novel by Pierre Choderlos de Laclos
directed by Marianne Elliott
Olivier and Tony® Award winner Lesley Manville (Phantom Thread) joins Aidan Turner (Rivals) in a striking new staging of Christopher Hampton’s celebrated adaptation of the classic novel, where among the glittering salons of the super-rich, one misstep can mean ruin.
Marquise de Merteuil is a master in the art of survival. Alongside the magnetic Vicomte de Valmont, they turn seduction into strategy and weaponise desire. But when their alliance collapses into rivalry, the battle between them threatens to destroy everyone in their path. Filmed live on stage at the National Theatre, Marianne Elliott (Angels in America) directs this thrilling game of love, lies, and social warfare.
"A Triumph."
— City AM
"Something to behold, it's a triumph."
— Independent
"Lesley Manville and Aidan Turner are magnetic, magnificent."
— London Theatre
"A wickedly sumptuous show. Tense, sexy, and playful."
— Radio Times
"Manville and Turner are simply superb, their performances deep and thoughtful. They make the characters fallibly human, and Elliott makes the evening sing."
— Sarah Crompton, What's On Stage
"This sumptuous production features killer turns from an imperiously coquettish Manville and an amusedly saturnine Aidan Turner. Lesley Manville alone is worth the price of admission."
— Nick Curtis, Standard
