NT: Les Dangerous Liaisons

BAFTA winner Lesley Manville (Phantom Thread) stars alongside Aidan Turner (Rivals) in a stunning new production of Christopher Hampton's celebrated adaptation of the classic novel, where in the glittering salons of the super-rich, a single misstep can mean ruin. The Marquise de Merteuil is a master of survival. Together with the charismatic Vicomte de Valmont, they turn seduction into strategy and use desire as a weapon. But when their alliance turns to rivalry, the battle between them threatens to destroy everyone who stands in their way.

Filmed live on stage at the National Theatre: Marianne Elliott (Angels in America) directs this gripping game of love, lies, and social power struggles.
