Venus in Fur Summary

Vanda (Tony Award® nominee Nina Arianda) is a preternaturally talented young actress determined to land the lead in Thomas’ (Emmy® Award nominee Hugh Dancy) new play based on the classic erotic novel, Venus in Fur. Her emotionally charged audition for the gifted but demanding playwright/director becomes an electrifying game of cat and mouse that blurs the lines between fantasy and reality, seduction and power, love and sex.

“Good, kinky fun!” -The New York Times

"Wildly Intelligent." - The New Yorker

"Delicously witty and darkly sexy. A brilliant balancing act of erotic tension and comic release." -Time Out NY
