by David Ives
Directed by Samantha Cormier
Thomas, a director in a bind, is desperate to find an actress to play the female lead in his adaptation of the classic sadomasochistic tale Venus in Fur. Enter Vanda, a vulgar and equally desperate actress. Though, on the surface, she is utterly wrong for the part, she authoritatively and seductively masters the part. As they work through the script, a game of domination and submission plays out with only enough room for one of them to win. This mysterious, charmingly erotic and acclaimed work is a high point in David Ives’ diverse body of work. Note: This show contains explicit language and adult themes.
Purchase TicketsThe teeter-tottering test of wills that takes place in VENUS IN FUR makes even the most fraught encounter between a domineering director and a sensitive performer seem like a play date in the sandbox. Actors may be pleased to hear that in this ninety minutes of good, kinky fun, the upper hand does not necessarily belong to the usual suspect.
