Full casting has been announced for the Roundabout Theatre Company’s revival of Christopher Hampton’s Les Liaisons Dangereuses, which will begin previews on April 11 at the American Airlines Theatre. The production, which will open officially on May 1, will be directed by Rufus Norris.

The show will star Laura Linney, Ben Daniels, Sian Phillips, Jessica Collins, Mamie Gummer, Kristine Nielsen, Benjamin Walker, Rosie Benton, Derek Cecil, Kevin Duda, and Jane Pfitsch.

Adapted from the novel by Choderlos de Laclos, the play focuses on long-time friends and occasional lovers Vicomte de Valmont and Marquise de Merteuil, who find that love is finally more than just a game when a beautiful young woman becomes involved in their schemes.

The show’s creative team will include Scott Pask (sets), Katrina Lindsay (costumes), and Donald Holder (lighting). Norris directed the London and Broadway productions of Festen.
