Les Liaisons Dangereuses
Shocking, thrilling, and thoroughly debauched, what a disturbingly good way to round off the Bank Holiday at the NT with Marianne Elliott’s Les Liaisons Dangereuses. This was a mesmerising play that, although difficult to watch at times, unflinchingly portrayed the cruelty and corrupting influence of the late 18th century French aristocracy.
Had it not been for the great casting, the calculating Marquise de Merteuil and the lupine Vicomte de Valmont could have slipped into caricatures of malice, and yet the wonderful Lesley Manville and Aidan Turner brought glimpses of humanity to their characters (and even flashes of the very vulnerability they so despise in their ‘prey’).
A special shout out to Tom Jackson Greaves’s choreography: the frenzied dance sequences and sweeping balletic performances intensified the urgency and physicality of the play. The clever use of smoke and mirrors also added to the themes of distortion, deception and vanity that underscored the play.
Thank you Fredo & Mike for the excellent seats, we felt right in the heart of the drama!

A Big, bold, lavish and colourful spectacle on such a large stage which we enjoyed.
Robin did have trouble hearing though not with Leslie Manville who was a tour de force. As Maggie said, Aidan Turner’s Irish accent was quite noticeable.
Thank you again Fredo and Mike for giving us another entertaining evening.

Spectacular production costumes set and choreography. Lesley Manville and Aidan Turner were excellent .Aidan’s Irish accent was quite noticeable .The first half had a lot of humour ,the second more serious as the two main characters used seduction to ruin lives as revenge . This caused the collapse of the partnership and self destruction of Merțueil and Valmont. Sadly grooming is prominent to this day .
Thank you Fredo and Mike also it must be the quickest journey to and from the theatre .
