Dive into the heart of 18th-century French aristocracy with Christopher Hampton's ‘Dangerous Liaisons’, based on the work by Choderlos de Laclos (1782). Follow the Machiavellian intrigues of the Marquise de Merteuil and the Vicomte de Valmont, two masters of manipulation and seduction. Madame de Merteuil, ready to do anything, even the worst, to preserve her freedom in a world dominated by men, and Valmont, whose reputation as a lady-killer precedes him in all his endeavours, face each other in a fiery and fearsome work. Between passion, betrayal and revenge, their dangerous games will have devastating consequences.
