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. Josie Rourke's acclaimed production transfers to Broadway after a sold-out engagement at London's Donmar Warehouse which ended earlier this year and starred Janet McTeer. The production received two Olivier Award nominations for Best Revival and Best Actress for Ms. McTeer.

Les Liaisons Dangereuses will be produced on Broadway by Arielle Tepper Madover.

Janet McTeer, who will play "La Marquise de Merteuil," earned a Tony Award for her Broadway debut in A Doll's House and a Tony Award nomination for her performance in the Donmar's Mary Stuart. She can currently be seen in the Public Theater's Shakespeare in the Park production of Taming of the Shrew.

Liev Schreiber, who will play "Le Vicomte de Valmont," earned a Tony Award for his performance in Glengarry Glen Ross, and received a Tony nomination for his most recent Broadway appearance in A View from the Bridge. He stars in the hit Showtime series "Ray Donovan" which returns for its 4th season on Sunday, June 26.

Director Josie Rourke is currently in rehearsals for The Public Theater/Donmar Warehouse co-production of Privacy. Co-conceived by James Graham and Josie Rourke, Privacy is written by James Graham and directed by Josie Rourke. She is the Artistic Director of the Donmar Warehouse where her recent productions include The Vote, which was broadcast live nationwide on television on the night of the 2015 UK election to an audience of over half a million and nominated for a BAFTA and City of Angels, which received the Olivier Award for Best Musical Revival.

Christopher Hampton earned both Olivier and Evening Standard Awards for Best New Play for the original London production of Les Liaisons Dangereuses. The play also received a New York Drama Critics' Circle Award for Best Foreign Play. Mr. Hampton won an Academy Award for his screenplay for the film adaptation, Dangerous Liaisons. He is currently represented on Broadway with the acclaimed adaptation of Florian Zeller's The Father and in London with his new version of Zeller's The Truth.
