BAFTA Award-winner Lesley Manville (Phantom Thread) joins Aidan Turner (Rivals) in a striking 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. When their alliance collapses into rivalry, the battle between them threatens to destroy everyone in their path. Marianne Elliott (Angels in America) directs this thrilling game of love, lies and social warfare.
