Lindsay Duncan and Alan Rickman in Les Liaisons Dangereuses 1987 Tony Awards

Stolen from the full KZbin post of the 1987 Tony Awards, this caught my eye as an exotic piece of performance media.

[@bethfiori4708]

I would have wanted Alan Rickman in the film version.

[@annbrookens945]

Oh, my goodness! Wouldn't you love to see the entire play with Alan Rickman?

[@terminalfrost3645]

I wish there were full recordings of alans plays available

[@j.b.9581]

A Play! A Play! GIVE us ALAN RICKMAN in ALL of his plays On Stage!!!!!

[@robertaferugheli4114]

Saw them in this on Broadway. Brilliant. Couldn't take your eye off if him. The genius of Alan Rickman.

[@mortalclown3812]

I miss him so; I shudder with fearsome delight to hear his voice, see his eyes.... but what shall we do about Mary's skirt?

[@Useruser-qn7wi]

Meeting him is my dream that will always remain unfulfilled. He made me love England. Only for him.❤

[@smurfette_blues7922]

ALAN RICKMAN? Fuck thats awesome!

[@MR-yv5vu]

If only there was a way to see the full play 🥺

[@voulafisentzidis8830]

I was disappointed when they didn't use him in the film...

@@mariahcarey9470 regrettably, no. He only appeared in the UK and US.

There’s probably a recording of it at the New York Public Library of Performing Arts, which makes a recorded archive of most Broadway shows. They aren’t easy to access though, better if your a researcher or an academic.

His voice 🔥

[@stefanjevtic7175]

I may be wrong, but this may of been the night in which the casting director for Die Hard and John Mctiernan both attended, watched and decided that they had found their Hans Gruber.

[@fionatsangarides6201]

I love his laugh

[@miyamotokai8872]

Thank you for posting this!!!! I wish I could see this play live....!!!!!!!

[@user-qm7um1uh7e]

Alan should have won that tony he was perfect and magical

[@kentapia8337]

This was one of the best productions I have seen anywhere.

[@thegreatestman851]

I’ve seen this play twice on Broadway. Once with Laura Linney (Meretuil) and once worn Janet McTeer as Meretuil and Liev Schreiber as Valmont, oh my god he looked gorgeous. Two truly beautiful and wild productions, loved it and loved the film with Glenn Close and John Malkovich and the book of course

[@fionatsangarides6201]

MOREEEEE PLEASE

[@khadijaaldallal5765]

I've read les liaisons dangereuses in my French school and now after knowing that Alan played it i cannot see Valmont in another way + the fact that Alan is so far from valmont as a person ( valmont is one of the evilest character i read) but he pulled him out so well that I can't see someone else play him

[@naly202]

Have you seen Die Hard?

[@user-bl1rc9pl2s]

Alan ❤❤❤

[@kennethwayne6857]

Saw them together in "Private Lives", they were stupendous.

[@grigorisgirl]

Weren’t they? I saw the play four times!

[@Jade-gg9mn]

INCREDIBLE! Omgggg

[@fionatsangarides6201]

Amazing actor !!!!!

[@oliviawalker777]

I saw a movie version with Glen close and John Malkovich...no comparison to this. Alan is superb.

[@davy91101]

Rickman and Duncan are superb actors but then the same can be said of Close and Malkovich. I have seen the movie several times and Close should have won the Oscar for her performance which I find is majesterial. The clip is two minutes long so I find it odd that you can say that the movie is no comparison.

[@films5555]

Both stellar thespians. Lindsey Duncan doesn’t get her due,

[@ccubs]

I love alan ❤

[@terryl6245]

Perfect

Where can I watch this play now? ❤

[@Pixics]

It's the bad guy from Die Hard.

[@MsAppassionata]

Oddly enough the makers of that film saw him in this play and decided he would make the perfect Hans Gruber, and they were right. I’m sure the Alan Rickman was very disappointed that he didn’t get selected to do the film version of Les Liaisons, but had he gotten the part he wouldn’t have been available to do Die Hard, so I guess everything worked out for him in the end.
