Les Liaisons Dangereuses
Publisher's Summary
From the sumptuous private drawing rooms of 18th-century Paris to the decadent estates and chateaus of the French countryside, La Marquise de Merteuil and Le Vicomte de Valmont hatch a long-distance plan of vengeance and seduction.
Valmont is determined to conquer the famously pious Madame de Tourvel, whose husband is abroad on business. However, Merteuil has other plans. She enlists his involvement in the seduction of a young convent girl, Cécile Volanges, the wife-to-be of the Marquise's former lover. But as they race toward the culmination of their plans, events start to spiral out of control and they realise that they might not be as in control of their hearts as once they thought.
Starring:
Madame de Volanges: Adjoa Andoh
La Présidente de Tourvel: Elaine Cassidy
Cécile Volanges: Morfydd Clark
Le Chevalier Danceny: Edward Holcroft
Marquise de Merteuil: Janet McTeer
Vicomte de Valmont: Dominic West
Madame de Rosemond: Una Stubbs.
With announcements by Simon Kane.

horrible people doing horrible things
great narration/ performance
never heard the story before, was a bit surprised at how 'rapey' the story is - shows how different these issues are viewed now.

A wonderful play
Dominic West in this sounds like he is acting because he has to., he is normally a wonderful actor but in this, he sounds at time that he is bored with his lines, He at times sounds like he is reading a shopping list.. Valmont is a predator and wicked but I did not feel that Dominic West conveyed this

Creepy
Certainly not something inspiring or clever. Just a predator treating young “girls” disrespectfully. Could be triggering for some.

Utter rubbish - has to re-listen to some chapters to get the gist of what the hell was going on
