Theatre 3 sizzles with ‘Les Liaisons Dangereuses’
Bored with their aristocratic lifestyle, former lovers the Marquis de Valmont (Brandon Potter) and Madame de Merteuil (Cindee Mayfield) place a cynical wager, the results of which doom many lives. Christopher Hampton’s bristling adaptation of the 18th century epistolary novel by the mysterious Choderlos de Laclos, Les Liaisons Dangereuses has been a showcase for great performances for 30 years, with two of Dallas’ best actors getting to dig their teeth into this story of brutal sexual gamesmanship

Classics Theatre Project launches with an update on ‘The Cherry Orchard’
Last week, we wrote about a new theater company dedicated to producing 19th and 20th century classics of theater — called, natch, The Classics Theatre Project. The first show, a new adaptation (by Dallas’ Ben Schroth) of Chekhov’s The Cherry Orchard, kicks off its inaugural season. Emily Banks stars in this comedy of country manners. Joey Folsom directs.
