Among the glittering French salons of the super-rich, one misstep can mean ruin. Lesley Manville and Aidan Turner star in this thrilling game of love, lies, and social warfare.

BAFTA Award-winner Lesley Manville (Mum, Sherwood, Phantom Thread) joins Aidan Turner (Poldark, Rivals) in a striking new staging of Christopher Hampton’s celebrated adaptation of the classic novel by Pierre Choderlos de Laclos, 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.

Marianne Elliott (War Horse, Angels in America) directs this thrilling game of love, lies, and social warfare.
