Downton Abbey star Michelle Dockery and actor Dominic West will star in a 30th anniversary revival of Les Liaisons Dangereuses at the Donmar Warehouse.
Dockery, who plays Lady Mary in ITV’s hit period drama, will play Madame de Tourvel in the production, heading up the London theatre’s autumn season.
Janet McTeer and West co-star as ruthless former lovers Marquise de Merteuil and Vicomte de Valmont.
Artistic director Josie Rourke will helm Christopher Hampton’s play.
Les Liaisons Dangereuses is based on the scandalous 1782 novel by Choderlos de Laclos, which told of sex, intrigue and betrayal amongst aristocrats in pre-revolutionary France.
