Christopher Hampton's award-winning, English-language adaptation of Choderlos de Laclos' infamous
1782 novel of sexual intrigue and ruthless manipulation! Set in the salons and boudoirs of pre-Revolutionary France, two high-powered and well-heeled friends, the Vicomte de Valmont and the Marquise de Merteuil, devise a game to test their skills as rapacious lovers. The revenge-seeking Marquise challenges the Vicomte to woo the virginal Cecile, while he sets his sights on the seduction of the virtuous and religious Madame Tourvel. In their tenacious battle for the upper hand, they, like the others, become part of the wreckage. This production contains some nudity.
