"Venus in Fur provides a seriously smart and very funny stage seminar on the destabilizing nature of sexual desire: vanilla-flavored, kink-festooned or anything in between." ~The New York Times

"Is this magic? Or masochism? Or just theater? And is there a difference?" ~Vulture

"...a smart and at times hilarious sojourn into sexual desire – in all its varied and delicious manifestations." ~Theatre Travels

Director Samantha Cormier was herself a memorably spectacular Venus in Fur 1l½ years ago! So it will be fascinating to get her take on directing another performer, Taigé Lauren, in the role of Actress, along with Aaron Cammack as Director.

Based on Venus in Furs, the novel by Leopold von Sacher- Masoch (Yes, the name from which masochism was, rather unjustly, derived. Seems he was a bit of a feminist; perhaps that's why he got associated with a negative epithet?)

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.

“The teeter-tottering test of wills that takes place in VENUS IN FUR makes even the most fraught encounter between a[ny other] 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.” - The New York Times
