The stars of the Donmar Warehouse production of Les Liaisons Dangereuses met the press at their rehearsal studio on September 13. Directed by Josie Rourke, the production is scheduled to run October 8-January 22, 2017, with opening night set for October 30, at Broadway's Booth Theatre.

As previously announced, the production stars Tony winners Janet McTeer (La Marquise de Merteuil) and Liev Schreiber (Le Vicomte de Valmont), alongside Birgitte Hjort Sørensen (Madame de Tourvel), Mary Beth Peil (Madame de Rosemonde), and Elena Kampouris (Cécile Volanges).

Rounding out the ensemble will be Raffi Barsoumian (Le Chevalier Danceny), Ora Jones (Madame de Volanges), Katrina Cunningham (Émilie), Josh Salt (Azolan), Joy Franz (Victoire), David Patterson (Major-domo), and Laura Sudduth (Julie).

Choderlos de Laclos' novel of sex, intrigue, and betrayal in pre-revolutionary France scandalized the world in 1782. Two hundred years later, in 1985, Christopher Hampton's stage adaptation became an award-winning sensation in London's West End and on Broadway, followed by the Academy Award-winning film Dangerous Liaisons, starring Glenn Close, John Malkovich, and Michelle Pfeiffer.

The play is described as follows: "Former lovers, La Marquise de Merteuil and Le Vicomte de Valmont compete in games of seduction and revenge…Merteuil incites Valmont to corrupt the convent-educated Cecile de Volanges before her wedding night but Valmont has other designs. His target is the peerlessly virtuous and happily married Madame de Tourvel."
