In decadent, pre-revolutionary France La Marquise de Merteuil and Le Vicomte de Valmont engage in a contest of sexual wiles. Innocence, virtue and simplicity are the obstacles to be overcome – deceit, lust and vengeance the tactics to be employed. But it is a game that must be played to the death.

Christopher Hampton’s witty and mercilessly intelligent adaptation of Chodleros de Laclos’s novel bristles with powerful drama and with funny and exquisitely moulded dialogue.
