Christopher Hampton's searing story of sexual deceit and betrayal is set in the glittering world of Parisian aristocracy where former lovers, the Marquise de Merteuil and the Vicomte de Vairmont lay a bet, to see who can pull off the greater act of seduction. Reputations are put at risk and lives destroyed, as neither of these amoral aristocrats is concerned with the consequences of their cynical game - until, that is, love gets in the way.
