Les Liaisons Dangereuses description
Among the glittering salons of the super-rich, patriarchy equals power, reputation is everything – and for women, one misstep can mean ruin.
Madame de Merteuil, master in the art of survival, wields her influence with intelligence and control. Alongside the magnetic Viscount 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.
Marianne Elliott directs Lesley Manville and Aidan Turner in Christopher Hampton’s celebrated reimagining of Choderlos de Laclos’ classic novel – a thrilling game of love, lies and social warfare.
