(LAMBERTVILLE, NJ) -- Music Mountain Theatre presents Les Liaisons Dangereuses across three weekends from February 6-22, 2026. The Tony-nominated play by Christopher Hampton is based on the novel by Pierre Choderlos de Laclos. It's a tale of seduction and treachery among aristocrats in pre-revolutionary France.
This classic drama explores decadent sexuality, morals and manipulation played as the ultimate game, with tragic results. The Royal Shakespeare Company’s stunning production met with acclaim in Stratford, in London and on Broadway. The Oscar-winning film adaptation, Dangerous Liaisons, starred Glenn Close, John Malkovich, Michelle Pfeiffer and Uma Thurman.
The cast includes Lucinda Fisher Alvarez, Lauren Brader, Phoenix Fritch, Megan Gramlich, Eva Guasconi, J. Ryan Harmer, Shayla Moon Hermann, Juliet Hommes, Alex Klein, Madison Kotnarowski, and Mike Prikril.
Performances take place Friday and Saturday nights at 7:30pm; Saturday and Sunday matinees at 3:00pm. Tickets are available for purchase online. Music Mountain Theatre is located at 1483 NJ -179 in Lambertville, New Jersey.
This production contains mature themes including intimacy, power dynamics, and emotional manipulation, as well as moments that may be distressing to some viewers. Recommended for adult audiences.
Les Liaisons Dangereuses was first produced by the Royal Shakespeare Company at The Other Place, Stratford-upon-Avon on September 24, 1985. Directed by Howard Davies, the production starred Lindsay Duncan, Alan Rickman and Juliet Stevenson.
The play was subsequently produced at the Pit, Barbican, on January 8, 1986, featuring the same three leading actors. Les Liaisons Dangereuses premiered on Broadway at the Music Box Theatre on April 30, 1987. Again directed by Davies, the Broadway production starred Duncan and Rickman, with Suzanne Burden replacing Stevenson as La Présidente de Tourvel.
It won the 1986 Olivier Award for Best New Play and was nominated for seven 1987 Tony Awards, including Best Play.
