MARQUEE VALUE: Les Liaisons Dangereuses at American Airlines Theatre

By Matthew Blank
14 Apr 2008


Production: Les Liaisons Dangereuses, by Christopher Hampton, based on the novel by Choderlos de Lacios, directed by Rufus Norris, starring Laura Linney, Ben Daniels, Mamie Gummer and Kristine Nielsen.

Previews: April 12, 2008
Opening: May 1, 2008
Closing: June 29, 2008

Venue: American Airlines Theatre, 227 West 42nd Street, New York, NY 10036


Laura Linney returns to the stage in a dark comedy that reveals the decadence and cynicism of the aristocracy prior to the French Revolution. An adaptation of the classic novel involving sexual intrigue, manipulation, and philandering in the salons and boudoirs of 18th century France. For long-time friends and occasional lovers Vicomte de Valmont (Daniels) and Marquise de Merteuil (Linney), love is simply a game of chess. But in a few false moves, they're about to find themselves locked in the ultimate checkmate.
