The image shows two elegantly dressed figures in Regency or Victorian-era costumes, photographed from above while lying among scattered handwritten letters and papers. The styling suggests a romantic narrative, with both wearing formal period attire and jewelry including pearl necklaces. The man wears a white formal suit while the woman wears what appears to be an evening gown with elaborate jewelry.

About NT Live: Les Liaisons Dangereuses

BAFTA Award-winner Lesley Manville joins Aidan Turner in a striking new staging of Christopher Hampton’s celebrated adaptation of the classic novel, where among the glittering salons of the super-rich, one misstep can mean ruin.

Marquise de Merteuil is a master in the art of survival. Alongside the magnetic Vicomte de Valmont, they turn seduction into strategy and weaponise desire.  But when their alliance collapses into rivalry, the battle between them threatens to destroy everyone in their path. Filmed live on stage at the National Theatre, Marianne Elliott (Angels in America) directs this thrilling game of love, lies and social warfare.

Please note: the screening on Sunday 28th June includes descriptive subtitles.

  2. Three people in high-visibility safety vests working together to move what appears to be a large white cylindrical object, possibly a wind turbine blade component, along a road at sunset or sunrise. The scene is set in what looks like a rural or desert area with rolling hills in the background and dramatic golden lighting.
