"A compelling evening of malicious wit" — NY Times

Merteuil and Valmont are rivals and lovers who enjoy using sex as a weapon and a game to humiliate and destroy. Bored, they form an alliance to use seduction as a game against two guiltless victims: the married and virtuous Tourvel, and the innocent school girl, Cecile. Before the summer is over a game will be played with wit and style, but the rules begin to change, and even the winner will suffer. Glenn T. Griffin’s Les Liaisons Dangereuses is a unique theatrical experience with a shockingly creative staging, all star cast, and technical elements that make this show one of the most anticipated of the season.

For mature audiences only.

Directed and conceived by Glenn T. Griffin
