The Department of Performing Arts will present Christoper Hampton’s “Les Liaisons Dangereuses,” opening at 7:30 p.m., Thursday, April 19 in McCrary Theatre, located on the Elon campus in the Faith Rockefeller Model Center for the Arts.
Based on the novel by Choderlos de Lacos, this play is set among aristocrats immediately before the French Revolution. It is a riveting story about power, sexual manners and manipulation, charting the seduction of the young Cecile and the passionate de Tourvel by LeVicomte de Valmont, a cynical pleasure-seeker who is encouraged by his former mistress. The play contains mature subject matter.
Show times are 7:30 p.m., Thursday, April 19 through Saturday, April 21, with a 2 p.m. matinee on Sunday, April 22. Tickets are $10 or free with Elon identification. Tickets may be purchased by calling the McCrary Theatre box office at (336) 278-5610. The box office is open between 12:30 p.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday.
