Details

In the glittering salons of 18th century France the Marquise de Merteuil is devising an ingenious plot, for which she will require the help of her lover, the Vicomte de Valmont, a man whose incredible powers of seduction are matched only by his ruthless instinct for intrigue. And so begins an electrifying sequence of longing, betrayal and lies. But what happens if, when out hunting for pure passion, one stumbles upon true love? The mesmerising tale of sexual power games is one of the most highly regarded dramas of the last decade, becoming an Oscar winning movie and a hit around the world. A script-in-hand performance. The performance will be followed by an on-stage Q&A with Director Gerald Garutti, Christopher Hampton and West End producer Kim Poster. Part of a series of events celebrating the thrills and spills of 50 years of the Royal Shakespeare Company.
