"brave and beautifully directed"
Emma Jane Denly, Yellowdrama
Dangerous Liaisons
Based on Les Liaisons Dangereuses by Choderlos de Laclos
adapted by Polly Boon and Alexandra Rutter from PWK Stone's 1961 translation
Regional tour (Auden Theatre, Stahl Theatre, Leamington Spa Council Chambers) 2012
Human pawns struggle for control in a twisted game. Dripping with dry wit, our adaptation brings the author to life as a shrewd chess player and an arbiter of his flawed and relatable characters. Our workshops and talks with GCSE and A Level students explored Choderlos de Laclos’ classic tale of love, jealousy and revenge, and how we adapted it for the stage.
