“Dangerous Liaisons” is a bold prelude of Laclos’ classic 18th century novel focusing on the origin story of how his iconic characters, the Marquise de Merteuil and the Vicomte de Valmont, met as passionate young lovers in Paris on the eve of the revolution. This modern take on a classic story gives audiences a chance to experience wonder and terror, beauty and degradation, seduction and deception in pre-revolutionary Paris. Driven to right the wrongs of their past, we follow the couple as they rise from the slums of Paris and scale the heights of the French aristocracy. Their survival depends on their skills of seduction and manipulation of not only the French nobility but of each other. It’s not love… it’s war. Alice Englert (Beautiful Creatures, “Ratched”) and Nicholas Denton (“Glitch,” Pillars) will portray the notorious lovers: Camille who is taken in by the current Madame de Merteuil (played by Lesley Manville) and Valmont who will stop at nothing to regain his title that was recently taken from him.
