Breakdown
SEEKING ACTORS TO PLAY AND OR UNDERSTUDY THE FOLLOWING ROLES:
LA MARQUISE DE MERTEUIL
– CAST (Janet McTeer). Mid 40’s – early 50’s. A rich widow. Ex-lover and now co-conspirator of LE VICOMTE DE VALMONT. An extremely shrewd and formidable woman with deep reservoirs of intellect, emotion and passion, tho she guards the latter two characteristics fiercely. A supremely cool and cunning manipulator; impenetrable and unapologetically deceptive. She plays the game better than anyone.
LE VICOMTE DE VALMONT
– CAST (Liev Schreiber). The playboy of France. Former lover of the MARQUISE. A distinguished, wealthy and effortlessly charming lothario; stealthy, manipulative and determined in the extreme. A proud man used to getting his way. Blindsided by falling in genuine love with his latest conquest, MADAME de TOURVEL.
MME DE TOURVEL
– Female, mid-late 20’s. Beautiful, virtuous and deeply religious married woman of notoriously unassailable moral character; VALMONT sets out to corrupt her for sport. Passionate in her faith and loyal to a fault, TOURVEL is relentlessly pursued and seduced by VALMONT and, after giving over, is overwhelmed by deep feeling, passion and ultimately grief. Any ethnicity.
MME DE VOLANGES
– Female. Late 40’s - mid- 50’s. A wealthy widow and friend of the MARQUISE. Mother of the teenaged CECILE. Respectable and spirited if parochial; very aware of her daughter’s budding sexuality and mindful of making a beneficial match for her. Deeply distrustful and disdainful of VALMONT. Any ethnicity.
CÉCILE VOLANGES
– Female, late teens –early 20’s to play 15. MADAME de VOLANGES’ pretty and virginal young daughter, recently released from a convent to enter into a marriage her mother arranged. Girlishly exuberant yet tentative, increasingly curious about the ways of the adult world the more she is exposed to it. Devoted to her music teacher, LE CHEVALIER DANCENY. Any ethnicity.
LE CHEVALIER DANCENY
– Male, early - late 20s. CECILE’s music teacher and pet of the MARQUISE. A charming and eager naïf, caught between boyhood and manhood. Devoted to CECILE, tho not necessarily the most suave, assured and confident suitor. Ultimately, a man of honour. Any ethnicity.
MME DE ROSEMONDE
– Female, 70’s. VALMONT’s aunt. Wise, witty and sympathetic; devoted to her nephew, but not blind to his ways. Any ethnicity.
AZOLAN
–Male, 20’s. VALMONT’s valet and also his spy. Dapper and droll. Does most of VALMONT’s dirty work, and reaps the rewards – both in his pocket and in his bed. Any ethnicity.
ÉMILIE
– Female, 20’s. An attractive courtesan favoured by VALMONT. Any ethnicity.
MAJOR-DOMO- Male, 20’s. MERTEUIL’s valet. Any ethnicity.
