Dangerous Liaisons — Little Ones Theatre
No, this isn't Cruel Intentions.
Overview
Dangerous Liaisons, Pierre Choderlos de Laclos's 1782 novel, has been brought to life many times over the years. In the 1980s it made its way to the stage as a play starring Alan Rickman, and to the screen as a film featuring John Malkovich and Michelle Pfeiffer. And then there's Cruel Intentions, the teen-focused, Sarah Michelle Gellar-starring effort you mightn't have realised was an adaptation.
Now, for MELT Festival 2015, it's a decadent theatre production — one that's been inspired by Charles Ludlam’s Ridiculous Theater Company, director Derek Jarman's work, Rococo fashions and the period pieces of Peter Greenaway. Basically, Little Ones Theatre's production is exactly what a morally ambiguous tale of sex, betrayal and bad behaviour should be when given the high camp treatment.
