Description
Venus in Fur is a dark comedy that explores desire, fantasy and the art of acting. Enigmatic actress Vanda Jordan appears for an audition with director Thomas Novachek, determined to land the leading role in his new production. As they rehearse the lines of Leopold von Sacher-Masoch's play, the boundaries between reality and performance become increasingly blurred. The play within a play takes on a life of its own, with Vanda's character seeming wrong for the part yet drawing Thomas in with her act. This intoxicating exploration of gender roles and sexuality is also a witty look at the art of acting - both onstage and off. With its unique blend of dark humor and psychological insight, Venus in Fur has become a popular choice for productions around the world. The play was adapted into a film by Roman Polanski, which premiered in 2013. This edition features the original text, making it a great choice for those interested in theatre, drama or psychology.
