A deliciously
wicked peep into the boudoirs of the ruling class in pre-revolution
France. In a decadent cat-and-mouse game of love and revenge,
the beautiful Marquise and the infamous Valmont deftly manipulate
those around them — including each other — as
they scheme to seduce their innocent victims: a virginal bride-to-be
and a pious married woman. The scandalous plot that unfolds
leads to revelations about the human heart that are both chilling
and inspiring.
Featuring Tamara
Tunie as the La Marquise de Merteuil and Gareth Saxe as Le
Vicomte de Valmont.
This
production may not suitable for children under 18. Parental
discretion is advised.
"Why
do you suppose we only feel compelled to chase the ones who
run away?"
