Les Liaisons Dangereuses By Christopher Hampton. After the novel by Pierre Choderlos de Laclos. Director Ruth Carney
To long-time friends and occasional lovers Vicomte de Valmont and Marquise de Merteuil, love is an elaborate game of chess with human beings as Pawns. In a world of beautiful women and dazzling men, wit flashes like lightening and
love is a dangerous weapon but behind an exquisite exterior something lies dying… In a few false moves, the ultimate checkmate can be found.
Full of seduction, betrayal, and plenty of illicit passion this is a tale of carnal gamesmanship among the French Aristocracy.This dark comedy paints the pre-Revolutionary Bourgouise in all its cynicism and decadence.
From the original 1782 epistolary novel by Choderlos de Laclos this triumphant stage script went on to inspire the 1988 film ‘Dangerous Liaisons’.
