Janet McTeer and Liev Schreiber to Return to Broadway in Les Liaisons Dangereuses

Tony Award winners Janet McTeer (Mary Stuart) and Liev Schreiber (A View From the Bridge) will return to Broadway in the Donmar Warehouse production of Christopher Hampton's Les Liasons Dangereuses, helmed by the Donmar artistic director Josie Rourke. The production will begin performances at the Booth Theatre on October 8 for a 15-week-only engagement through January 22. Opening is set for October 30.

Josie Rourke’s Donmar Warehouse production, which ended earlier this year, also starred Janet McTeer. The production was nominated for the Olivier Award for Best Revival.

In 1782, Choderlos de Laclos’ novel of sex, intrigue, and betrayal in pre-revolutionary France scandalized the world. 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."

The creative team includes Tom Scutt (set and costume design), Mark Henderson (lighting design), Carolyn Downing (sound design), Michael Bruce (original music), Richard Ryan (fight director), and Arthur Pita (movement director).
