Venus in Fur
By David Ives
A Seductive, Electrifying Battle of the Sexes
When an ambitious director holds auditions for his new play, a mysteriously late and seemingly desperate actress walks through the door. What begins as a routine reading rapidly spirals into a sharp, intoxicating, and razor-witted game of cat and mouse where the lines between reality, roleplay, obsession, and desire completely blur.
