Rehearsal images have been released for Marianne Elliott’s new staging of Les Liaisons Dangereuses. Playwright Christopher Hampton’s acclaimed adaptation of Pierre Choderlos de Laclos’ famous novel of seduction, social warfare and outright lies - famously brought to the screen in Stephen Frears’ classic Dangerous Liaisons starring John Malkovich, Glenn Close and Michelle Pfeiffer - has had a refreshed script for its first ever staging at the National Theatre, playing the Lyttelton theatre from 21 March until 6 June. The production will also be screened in cinemas worldwide via National Theatre Live from 25 June.
