Sex, intrigue and betrayal are currently being served up eight shows a week at the Booth Theatre, where Tony winners Janet McTeer and Liev Schreiber are leading Christopher Hampton’s Les Liaisons Dangereuses. The Josie Rourke-helmed production, originally from London's Donmar Warehouse, will open officially on October 30.
To celebrate the Great White Way revival of the dark comedy, based on the 1782 novel by Pierre Choderlos de Laclos, Broadway.com resident artist Justin “Squigs” Robertson penned this portrait. There's McTeer as La Marquise de Merteuil, Schreiber as Le Vicomte de Valmont, Birgitte Hjort Sørensen as Madame de Tourvel, Mary Beth Peil as Madame de Rosemonde, Elena Kampouris as Cécile Volanges, Raffi Barsoumian as Le Chevalier Danceny, Katrina Cunningham as Émilie, Ora Jones as Madame de Volanges, Josh Salt as Azolan and David Patterson as Major-domo.
It's beyond our control—Broadway.com wishes the Les Liaisons Dangereuses team a happy opening...let the games begin!
About the Artist: With a desire to celebrate the magic of live theater and those who create it, and with a deep reverence for such touchstones as the work of Al Hirschfeld and the wall at Sardi’s, Squigs is happy and grateful to be among those carrying on the traditions where theater and caricature meet. He was born and raised in Oregon, lived in Los Angeles for quite a long time and now calls New York City his home.
