Hampton’s adaptation of Pierre Cholderlos de Laclos’s epistolary novel is an exploration of the pleasures and perils of hedonism. Set amidst the lives of two 18th century French aristocrats and rife with sensuality and intrigue, Les Liaisons is a warning of the dangers of too much pleasure. The production is directed by Jerrold Scott.
