Les Liaisons Dangereuses – NT Live 2026

BAFTA
Award-winner Lesley Manville (Phantom Thread) joins Aidan Turner (Rivals)
in a striking new staging of Christopher Hampton’s celebrated adaptation of the
classic novel, where among the glittering salons of the super-rich, one misstep
can mean ruin.

Marquise
de Merteuil is a master in the art of survival. Alongside the magnetic Vicomte
de Valmont, they turn seduction into strategy and weaponise desire.  But when their alliance collapses into
rivalry, the battle between them threatens to destroy everyone in their path.

 Filmed
live on stage at the National Theatre, Marianne Elliott (Angels in America)
directs this thrilling game of love, lies, and social warfare.
