Christopher Hampton’s adaptation of Pierre Cholderlos de Laclos’s epistolary novel is a deliciously decadent exploration of the pleasures and perils of hedonism. Set amidst the lives of two eighteenth century French aristocrats and rife with sensuality and intrigue, Les Liaisons is a warning of the dangers of too much pleasure. The production is directed by Jerrold Scott.
General admission is $10, with discounted prices of $7 for adults over 60 and Case personnel, and $5 for students. For ticket reservations or information, call the box office for the department of theater and dance at 216-368-6262.
