From the sumptuous private drawing rooms of 18th-century Paris to the decadent estates and chateaus of the French countryside, La Marquise de Merteuil and Le Vicomte de Valmont hatch a long-distance plan of vengeance and seduction.

Valmont is determined to conquer the famously pious Madame de Tourvel, whose husband is abroad on business. However, Merteuil has other plans. She enlists his involvement in the seduction of a young convent girl, Cécile Volanges, the wife-to-be of the Marquise's former lover. But as they race toward the culmination of their plans, events start to spiral out of control and they realise that they might not be as in control of their hearts as once they thought.

I was bored. I did not, this time, have the audio refunded, but I did not enjoy listening to the book. The narrators were fine, but the writing and the plot were not interesting.

What can I say ? Boring

Wished it was rather much longer, an I found it very entertaining and easy to listen to.

Bravo! What a magnificent performance by the main protagonists. They were well supported by an excellent cast. This is a first class production. I was enthralled and totally absorbed by it. Wonderful!

Wonderful performance

I missed this play at the Donmar in London and doubly kicked myself when it transferred straight to Broadway.
This recording by the play's actors is incredible - such charisma in the voices, and to my surprise, I understood every character's plot twists without having to see the actors 'in action'. Brilliant and highly recommended.

Wow! What a play..!

Well it is fun and a couple of times really profound on what could have been those times. I thought that sometimes I was at a theater seeing these big passions and maledies happen. Did it happen? For sure it did

Joy for a travel
