Who will you be, and who will you be with, after the end?

​Quartet is a play written by Heiner Muller, inspired by Pierre Choderlos de Laclos’ Liasons Dangereuse. In a space that is equal parts “a drawing room before the French revolution/ an air raid shelter after WWIII”, two people remain: the Marquise de Merteuil (M) and the Vicomte de Valmont (V). Through a series of role-playing games they move fluidly across gender, age and identity, while the spectre of death, both inside and outside their private world, looms large.
