UJanet McTeer kunye noLiev Schreiber kwi AmaXesha ayingozi .UJason Bell Ngokusekwe kwinoveli kaPierre Choderlos de Laclos, eyapapashwa ngo-1782 yajika yaba ngumdlalo ophumelele amabhaso kaChristopher Hampton kwiminyaka engama-200 kamva, Ubudlelwane obuyingozi ibuyile ku-Broadway ukubhiyozela iminyaka engama-30 iqalile. Le mpambano ishushu malunga ne-decadent, i-amoral French aristocrats kwiintsuku ezingaphambi kovukelo abangenanto ingcono yokwenza nesithukuthezi kunokuba batye ikeyiki kwaye benze umonakalo kwigumbi lokulala elinye nelinye basaphunga impikiswano, kodwa kwimveliso emitsha eBooth Kudlala uJanet McTeer kunye noLiev Schreiber, isimo sengqondo sikhona kodwa i-leer ihambile.
Udlala uVicomte de Valmont, i-hedonist engenazintloni esebenzisa kwaye ilahle ukoyisa kwakhe ngokwesondo ngenxa yokonwaba kwakhe. NguMarquise de Merteuil, owayethandana naye ngaphambili, kunye nesikrelemnqe esikhohlakeleyo esikhohlisa amadoda ngendlela efanayo. Ndizalelwe ukongamela isini sakho, uxelela iValmont, kwaye ndiziphindezelele. Inzame yakhe yamva nje yokubonisa ukuba iyaqala xa ebiza iValmont ngento embi. Unomsindo ngenxa yokuba ubudlelwane bakhe bamva nje bumshiye etshatile, intombi enyulu eneminyaka eli-15 ubudala egama linguCecile Volanges, ucela uValmont ukuba aphindisele igama lakhe elonakeleyo ngokulukuhla intombazana nangokutshabalalisa ubunyulu bayo ngaphambi komtshato. UValmont, nangona kunjalo, sele ebeke amehlo akhe amnyama kumfazi ococekileyo, omhle kwaye onqulo oluthandekayo, uMadame de Tourvel. Yiyo ke loo nto azithiyileyo esakhe isicwangciso sokudlwengula amanenekazi amabini ebhedini endaweni yelinye kwaye atyhwatyhwe kukonwaba ngokubabukela bethengisa amaxabiso abo kunye neenjongo zabo zokuziphatha eziphakamileyo kwimincili yovuyo. Ukuba uyaphumelela kuyo yomibini le misebenzi, ufuna umvuzo-ngokuhlwa ebhedini kunye noMarquise ngokwakhe, ngenxa yamaxesha akudala. Kwaye ke baxabana ngokurhabaxa ngokungenalusini kwaye abaphulaphuli benza ukubheja kwabo ukuze babone ukuba bangaphi ababukeli abanokuhlala kuyo. Kwimbono yokugxeka endiye kuyo, izihlalo ezingenanto emva kwekhefu zibonisa ukuba mangaphi amalungu abaphulaphuli angakhange akwenze oko.
Isenzo sokuqala esidinisayo, esingakhathaliyo nesingakhathaliyo sale mveliso yeeyure ezintathu imalunga nendlela abahlali abanganyanisekanga abasibeka ngayo esi sicwangciso. Umthetho wesibini ugxile kwinto eyenzekayo emva kokuba bephumelele, xa ukuthanda kwabo kubuyela umva, bafumana ukubonakala kwabo, kwaye wonke umntu ufikelela kwisiphelo esibi. Ndizibonile iimveliso ezibalaseleyo ze Ubudlelwane obuyingozi , kubandakanya iifilimu ezintlanu. Le ayisiyiyo enye yazo. U-Prissy-mouthed u-Alan Rickman wenze buthathaka inqanaba lokuqala lokungenisa eLondon. Umboniso bhanya-bhanya ka-1988 owenziwa nguStephen Frears wonakaliswa kukufa kukaJohn Malkovich oyintlekele, owayedlala iValmont njengefie, ekhalaza engadibaniyo noMlenstein kaGlenn Close. Lo mlinganiswa ekugqibeleni weza kubumnandi, ubomi obunomdla xa uColin Firth odlamkileyo etsiba kwindima yeMilos Forman ka-1989 yokuziqhelanisa nefilimu, IValmont, malunga neAnnette Bening.
Kule reprise yangoku, iprozi ebukekayo kaChristopher Hampton ayihanjiswanga kakuhle ngumlingisi ogqitha kwincoko okanye ayiginye njengelekese evela kwindawo yemvume. Zombini ezi nkwenkwezi zibonakala ziboshwe ziindima zazo. Ayizizo ezomzimba, ezinomtsalane, okanye ezinamandla ngokwaneleyo. Ukuva isimilo sikaMcTeer, izandi zesiNgesi ezivakalayo ziyinyani kwaye zihlala zingaqondakali, kunye nokubona uSchreiber okrwada nongxolayo ebuza ngokurhwebeshela kwiirisiti ze-chaise kwiiwigi zomgubo kunye neengubo zokunxiba isilika zijongeka zibubudenge. Ukuncipha kwamehlo akhe kunye noncumo lwakhe olunqabileyo luthetha ngakumbi ngabalinganiswa babo kunawo onke amagama athethwayo asasazeke kunye, nangakumbi malunga nemidlalo yokuziphatha gwenxa kunye neqhinga ababelidlalela abantu ababangqongileyo. Xa bobabini bebodwa ndawonye kwi-onstage, bayadibana igama nelizwi kwi-arch exchange yabo, baguqula incoko ibe ngumdlalo okhohlakeleyo we-chess. Kodwa abanye abadlali, phantsi kolawulo olungalinganiyo lukaJosie Rourke, bayasilela ngamandla kwi-gusto. Uninzi lwabo luxakeke kakhulu kukulwa ubuqhetseba ukuze lubonakale luyinyani. Okona kubi kakhulu ngumdlali weqonga waseDenmark ongeniswe eLondon ogama linguBirgitte Hjort Sorensen njengoMadame Tourvel, ohambisa ngokungafaniyo imiboniso apho alwa khona neenjongo zakhe phambi kokuba anikezele kwinkqubela phambili yaseVamont. Andiqondi ukuba kutheni, kwiiseti zikaTom Scutt ezimiselweyo ngenye indlela, ezikhutshwe zii-chandeliers ezintlanu, isityebi kunye nokuzonwabisa kwesiFrentshi umhlaba ophakamileyo uhlala ngaphakathi apho udonga ludilika khona, ipeyinti iyaxobuka, kwaye udaka ludlakadekile. Ukuba le mbono sisikweko esibonakalayo sokuhla kwesisu ngaphakathi embindini wesiphithiphithi sokuziphatha ngaphakathi kwabalinganiswa ngokwabo, oko kubonisa yonke enye into malunga nemvuselelo yangoku Ubudlelwane obunobungozi- ngolunya, ukuphambukisa, kunye nokudana okukhulu.
