Christopher Hampton’s stylish 1980’s adaptation of the eighteenth century French novel of the same name by Pierre Choderlos de Laclos. A sparkling period ‘tragedy of manners’, the play features sexual intrigue, manipulation and power games, lust and debauchery, in the decadent upper crust of eighteenth century French society. As the action is played out, we know that the blade of the guillotine is waiting in the shadows. Scintillating wordplay enriches the much baser but more trivial pursuits of the ‘gentry’, and although the play is anything but a political piece, you may be a Republican sympathiser by the end!Tickets £10.00, Concessions £9.00
