A man and a woman lie on a bed covered in scattered handwritten letters. The man, wearing a partially open white shirt and dark shorts, reclines on a pillow and looks directly at the camera. The woman, dressed in an ornate red corset-style gown with pearl jewelry, leans against him while holding a letter.

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.  But when their alliance collapses into rivalry, the battle between them threatens to destroy everyone in their path.

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

Duration: TBC

Writer: Christopher Hampton, based on the novel by Pierre Choderlos de Laclos
