Les Liaisons Dangereuses debuted on Broadway in 1987 and was last seen on Broadway just eight years ago, so its return seems a bit premature. In modern times, you might hover over its image for a few fleeting seconds, but eventually swipe left, looking for the next potential lover to strike. While there’s plenty to find attractive in Les Liaisons Dangereuses, it’s ultimately an unfinished canvas (literally represented by the set dressing, which includes scattered portraits throughout). In her Broadway debut, Srensen beautifully captures love’s unruly nature and provides a pure-souled counterpart to the deceptions at hand.

It had been about thirty years ago when I last saw Christopher Hampton’s Les Liaisons Dangereuses, an award winning play adapted from the 1782 novel of the same title by Pierre Choderlos de Laclos . When I was in London earlier this year, i just missed the opportunity of seeing the same production starring Janet McTeer and Dominic West and I was cursing my luck. A war of the sexes revolving around love, honor, betrayal, and vanity all on full display here thanks to the incredible Donmar Warehouse.
This definitely sounded like the most perfect dueling match made in Broadway heaven. When Donmar Warehouse announced a transfer from the West End with McTeer starring again as the duplicitous and devious Marquise de Merteuil, with the equally impressive Liev Schreiber stepping in for West as the vain and roguish Vicomte de Valmont, I couldn’t resist. I have a delicious memory of that production that I can still envision to this day.

Sorensen, making her Broadway debut, was given one of the hardest tasks, making the dull and pious woman fascinating. She seems to be the blandest of the bunch, especially when I think of Pfieffer’s magnificent meltdown at the end. Here in the Donmar revival, this part is played with a fragile charm by Birgitte Hjort Sorensen. But the one face I kept thinking about was Michelle Pfieffer,who played the target of Valmont’s ploy, the married and virtuous Madame de Tourvel. Director Stephen Frears crafted Les Liaisons Dangereuses into an equally famous film, Dangerous Liaisons creating iconic moments of deception with the help of the two leads, Glenn Close and John Malcovich. No one can forget the 1988 movie version of this infamous play.
