Ominously thunder claps and the harsh florescent lights flicker. The stage, an immaculate recreation of a non-descript rehearsal studio in New York City, buzzes to life under the highly realistic, yet unusual lighting choice from the design standpoint. David Ives' wildly popular erotic comedy VENUS IN FUR springs to fully realized life on the Alley Theatre's Neuhaus Stage. Relentlessly erotic, the power struggle at the heart of the piece sizzles, grabbing audiences by throat. We collectively and willingly kneel before the play, submitting to its unflinching dominance, as we get lost in the poetry of the prose.
