**Please note that this LIPA performance will be staged at Unity Theatre which is a two-minute walk away from LIPA.**
Les Liaisons Dangereuses charts the seduction of both the young, innocent but very willing Cecile and the upstanding and devout Mme de Tourvel by Le Vicomte de Valmont. Valmont begins the play as a cynical pleasure-seeker, proud of his reputation as a master manipulator and seducer. He is encouraged in his enterprises by his former mistress, La Marquise de Merteuil, who shares his cynicism, but who has an ulterior motive.
Set in France among aristocrats before the Revolution, this is nevertheless a play for all time about sexual manners and manipulation bristling with tart, funny and exquisitely moulded lines. It is supple and addictive playwriting at its best.
A play by Christopher Hampton.
Original music score by LIPA student Joaqim Lewerin.
Contains scenes of nudity and sexual content.
