'Les Liaisons Dangereuses', Starring Lesley Manville and Aidan Turner In Cinemas Soon
BAFTA Award-winner Lesley Manville (Phantom Thread, Mrs Harris Goes to Paris) joins Aidan Turner (Rivals, Poldark) in a striking new staging of Christopher Hampton's celebrated adaptation of the classic novel, Les Liaisons Dangereuses, where among the glittering salons of the super-rich, one misstep can mean ruin.
Marquise de Merteuil is a master in the art of survival. Alongside the magnetic Vicomte de Valmont, they turn seduction into strategy and weaponise desire. But when their alliance collapses into rivalry, the battle between them threatens to destroy everyone in their path.
Filmed live on stage at the National Theatre, Marianne Elliott (Angels in America) directs this thrilling game of love, lies, and social warfare. Les Liaisons Dangereuses will open in select Australian cinemas from July 23, 2026 – tickets are on sale now.
