National Theatre Live 2026 – Les Liaisons Dangereuses
A live recording of the National Theatre’s production of Les Liaisons Dangereuses, based on Christopher Hampton’s celebrated adaptation of Pierre Choderlos de Laclos’s eighteenth-century epistolary novel.
National Theatre Live brings the very best of British theatre directly to the big screen. In this new NT Live screening, Marianne Elliott (Angels In America) directs a new production of Les Liaisons Dangereuses. Set in the opulent salons of the super-rich, it is a world where a single misstep can lead to ruin. The Marquise de Merteuil (Lesley Manville) and her ally, the Vicomte de Valmont (Aidan Turner), turn seduction into a calculated game of power. But when their alliance gives way to rivalry, their personal battle becomes a threat to everyone caught in their path.
This screening includes a 15-minute break.
