ROUNDABOUT THEATRE COMPANY announces Laura Linney Ben Daniels In a new Broadway production of Les Liaisons Dangereuses

Roundabout Theatre Company (Todd Haimes, Artistic Director) presents Laura Linney as “La Marquise de Merteuil ” and Ben Daniels making his Broadway debut as “Le Vicomte de Valmont” in a new Broadway production of Les Liaisons Dangereuses, by Christopher Hampton, directed by Rufus Norris at the American Airlines Theatre (227 West 42nd Street).

The limited engagement began previews on Friday, April 11th, 2008 and officially opened on Thursday, May 1st, 2008. The design team includes Scott Pask (sets), Katrina Lindsay (costumes) & Donald Holder (lights). The full cast will be announced shortly.

The definitive battle of the sexes springs to life in this Tony Award®-nominated classic by Christopher Hampton. For long-time friends and occasional lovers Vicomte de Valmont and Marquise de Merteuil, love is simply a game of chess. But in a few false moves, they’re about to find themselves locked in the ultimate checkmate. Filled with seduction, betrayal, and plenty of illicit passion, this dark comedy paints the pre-Revolutionary French aristocracy in all its cynicism and decadence.

Emmy Award winning actress Laura Linney returns to Broadway following her Tony-nominated role in Sight Unseen in 2005. Linney returns to Roundabout Theatre Company following the 2000 Broadway production of Uncle Vanya and prior to that, the 1994 production of Hedda Gabbler.

Ben Daniels is appearing with the permission of Actors’ Equity Association. The Producers gratefully acknowledge Actors’ Equity Association for its assistance with this production.

The Roundabout Theatre Company production of Les Liaisons Dangereuses marks the play’s return to Broadway for the first time since its 1987 Tony Award® -nominated premiere and subsequent 1987 Olivier Award-winning West End production. Les Liaisons Dangereuses went on to inspire the 1988 Academy Award ®-nominated film classic, Dangerous Liaisons.
