'Satin-cloaked Satyr'
I wish I was in New York, but seeing as I'm not, that's not going to stop me from posting these pictures from 'Les Liaisons Dangereuses' on Broadway. Laura Linney plays la Marquise de Merteuil and Ben Daniels plays le Vicomte de Valmont.
From the April Vogue article, a quote from Daniels: "I can't wait to unleash the inner libertine. How nice to be able to do that for two hours every night. No one on that stage is going to be safe - woman, man, dog - no one."
Lines! Angles! That suit!!! *FLAILS*

Ben Brantley reviews it in the NYTimes:
'Hedonism becomes a gravitational force in Ben Daniels’s compelling turn as an 18th-century libertine in “Les Liaisons Dangereuses,” which opened Thursday night in an eye-filling, very imbalanced revival at the American Airlines Theater. Making a sensational Broadway debut in Rufus Norris’s production, which also stars an uncomfortably cast Laura Linney, this London actor seems at all times pulled, pummeled and shaped by the prospect of physical pleasure.'
There's quite a hilarious video amateur review at Word of Mouth, featuring some clips.
