A lively and thought provoking historical play, set in 1896 at Girton College, previously in Hitchin, but moved to none other than Cambridge - one of the first colleges in England to admit women.  

Blending humour, romance and moments of tension, the play explores themes of equality, ambition and the cost of challenging tradition.   It highlights the courage of women who pushed against restrictive norms to claim their place in academia - and helped pave the way for future generations.

Les Liaisons Dangereuses  

by Christopher Hampton

based on the novel by Pierre Choderlos de Laclos

directed by Marianne Elliott

BAFTA Award-winner Lesley Manville (Phantom Thread) joins Aidan Turner (Rivals) in a striking new staging of Christopher Hampton’s celebrated adaptation of the classic novel, where among the glittering salons of the super-rich, one misstep can mean ruin.

Marquise de Merteuil is a master in the art of survival. Alongside the magnetic Vicomte de Valmont, they turn seduction into strategy and weaponise desire.  But when their alliance collapses into rivalry, the battle between them threatens to destroy everyone in their path.

Filmed live on stage at the National Theatre, Marianne Elliott (Angels in America) directs this thrilling game of love, lies, and social warfare.

Presented as part of The Hitchin Festival
