National Theatre Live: Les Liaisons Dangereuses
The pen is mightier than the sword.
A 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 at the National Theatre, Marianne Elliott directs this thrilling game of love, lies, and social warfare.
