Les Liaisons Dangereuses is adapted from the 1782 novel of the same title by Pierre Choderlos de Laclos. The plot focuses on the Marquise de Merteuil and the Vicomte de Valmont, rivals who use sex as a weapon of humiliation and degradation. Their targets are the virtuous (and married) Madame de Tourvel and Cécile de Volanges, a young girl who has fallen in love with her music tutor, the Chevalier Danceny. In order to gain their trust, Merteuil and Valmont pretend to help the secret lovers so they can use them later in their own treacherous scheming seductions and betrayals.
A successful British run and an equally successful Broadway run was followed by the film adaptation, Dangerous Liaisons (starring Glenn Close, John Malkovich and Michelle Pfeiffer) which earned 7 Academy Award nominations. A subsequent film version, Valmont, starred Colin Firth, Annette Bening and Meg Tilly.

This production features Brooke Alexander, Seth Hendricks, Barbara Jo Howard, Susan Cincotta, Julie King, Adam Fronc, Kasia Klimiuk, Bonnie Grice and Charlie Parshley.
