NT Live: Les Liaisons Dangereuses

BAFTA Award winner Lesley Manville (The Crown, Phantom Thread) stars alongside Aidan Turner (Poldark, The Hobbit) in a compelling new production of the famous adaptation of the classic French novel set in the glittering salons of the super-rich, where a single misstep can spell ruin.

The Marquise de Merteuil is a master of the art of survival. Together with the charismatic Vicomte de Valmont, they use seduction as a strategy and desire as a weapon. But when their alliance crumbles and turns into rivalry, their duel threatens to destroy everyone around them.

This thrilling production about love, lies, and social warfare, filmed live on the stage of the National Theatre, was directed by Marianne Elliott (NT Live: Angels in America).
