Venus in Fur: presented by the Rough Magic SEEDS.
Thomas has auditioned every incompetent actress in New York City. Vanda is hours late, drenched from a thunderstorm and definitely wrong for the part. Yet somehow she persuades him to give her a chance that sets off the audition of a lifetime. Blurring the line between real life and 19th-century high drama, Venus in Fur is a psychosexual comedy that flips the classic battle of the sexes on its head.
Starring Peter Coonan and Sarah Morris, Rough Magic SEEDS present David Ives’ powerhouse drama, delivered by a bold new generation of theatre makers.
Project Arts Centre 5th – 8th February
