Asolo Repertory Theatre is pleased to announce that Venus in Fur by David Ives will complete the line-up for its 2012-2013 season. The production will be staged in the Historic Asolo Theater April 5-28, 2013 with preview performances April 3th and 4th.
The critically acclaimed, must see hit of the recent Broadway season, Venus in Fur is a hot ticket in every sense. This seductive comedy blends love, lust and literature with the ultimate battle of the sexes. Vanda is an unusual young actress who arrives to audition for the lead in playwright Thomas’ adaptation of Leopold von Sacher-Masoch’s 1870 erotic novel, Venus in Fur. As the audition proceeds, realities begin to shift and an emotionally charged game of cat and mouse unfolds. Is art imitating life? Or is it the other way around? The New York production made an instant star of its leading actress, Nina Arianda, who won the Tony Award for Best Actress. The play also received nominations for the Drama League Award for Distinguished Production of a Play, and the Tony Award for Best Play.
