About the show
A young actress is determined to land the lead in a new
play based on the classic erotic novel Venus in Furs. During her audition, she
gets caught up in an electrifying game of cat and mouse with the director,
blurring the line between fantasy and reality.
It’s a brilliantly troubling play about sex and power, expertly weaving
myriad classical art and mythology references into its fatal web.
