A National Theatre production on screen in Hanley
The screening brings Christopher Hampton’s adaptation of Les Liaisons Dangereuses to Stoke-on-Trent audiences in a prerecorded NT Live presentation. The production is based on the novel by Pierre Choderlos de Laclos and is directed by Marianne Elliott.
Lesley Manville, whose screen credits include Phantom Thread, appears alongside Aidan Turner, known for Rivals, in the National Theatre staging. The story moves through the glittering salons of the super-rich, where status, seduction and revenge are treated as weapons.
At its centre is Marquise de Merteuil, described in the source material as a master in the art of survival. Alongside the magnetic Vicomte de Valmont, she turns desire into strategy. When their alliance fractures into rivalry, the consequences spread beyond the pair themselves.
Cast, running time and audience guidance
The event is presented as a cinema screening rather than a live stage performance at the venue. The production was filmed live on stage at the National Theatre in front of a live audience.
Marianne Elliott, whose work includes Angels in America, directs the staging. The source describes the production as a game of love, lies and social warfare, with the pair’s private battle threatening those around them.
The running time is listed as 150 minutes TBC. The BBFC certificate is listed as 15 TBC, and the event brief gives the audience as 15+. Anyone planning to attend with younger viewers should note that the certificate information is still marked to be confirmed in the source text.
