NT Live: Dangerous Liaisons

Lesley Manville (BAFTA award-winner) and Aidan Turner meet in a new production of the celebrated adaptation of the classic French novel - a story from opulent salons where a single misstep can mean ruin.

The Marquise de Merteuil is a master of survival. Together with the Vicomte de Valmont, they use seduction as strategy and desire as a weapon. When their alliance crumbles and turns into rivalry, their battle begins to destroy everything around them.

This 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).
