This Olivier Award-winning drama is based on a sensationally popular novel so scandalous that it was banned in the 19th century as an outrage to public morality. But as their cynical game proceeds, the players’ motives grow deeper – and more deadly. In pre-Revolutionary France, the Marquise de Merteuil and her sometime lover the Vicomte de Valmont amuse themselves by plotting the seduction of two women of virtue: the virginal Cécile Volanges and the respectably married Mme de Tourvel.

Our production will be one of the most jaw dropping and heart stopping versions of the play you will ever see! Dangerous Liaisons tells the story of rivals Marquise De Merteuil and Vicomte de Valmont who use sex and passion as a weapon in their thrilling game of revenge and power. One of the most acclaimed scripts of the last 30 years comes to sexy, stylish life at The Venetian.
