Explore the deliciously decadent underworld of 1930's Weimar
Germany in Dangerous, Michael McKeever's deconstruction of
"Les Liaisons Dangereuses." Two players of a very dangerous game
try to outwit each other with tragic results. With intelligence,
humor and more than a hint of sexuality, this fascinating play

backdrop of political and social upheaval. |
