The scandalous reputation of Laclos's novel, first published in
1782, is based on its chilling portrayal of the mannered decadence
and sexual cynicism of the French aristocracy in the last years of
the ancien regime. Christopher Hampton has made a masterful
adaptation for the stage of the conspiracy to corrupt a young girl
barely out of her convent. Les liaisons dangereuses was premiered
by Royal Shakespeare Company at The Other Place,
Stratford-upon-Avon, on 24 September 1985, and won Christopher
Hampton the Evening Standard Award for Best Play and the Laurence
Olivier Award for Best New Play in 1986.
