Les Liaisons Dangereuses is a full-length period drama by Christopher Hampton, from the saucy 1782 novel of sex, intrigue and betrayal by French author Pierre Choderlos de Laclos. Two rival aristocrats use seduction and debauchery in a cruel game of revenge, manipulation and degradation. But their lives of supreme self-indulgence are about to fall apart. At risk is their social standing, their integrity, even their lives... because one of them is about to fall in love.
