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.

FEATURED REVIEWS FOR Venus in Fur
Review: Venus in Fur
8 / 10
For Broadway, director Walter Bobbie milks the script more; the action clocks in about ten minutes longer than it did at CSC. Although easing up on the accelerator gives us more time to savor the sensual-slapstick dance between Dancy and Arianda, it also means the climactic 20 minutes-as gender roles and power positions sharply flip-grow a tad overindulgently logy. Undaunted, Arianda maintains terrific tension at all times-as well as full comic release.
Venus in Fur Review: Nina Arianda Dominates, Titillates
8 / 10
Arianda was subsequently propelled onto Broadway last season playing the part that made Judy Holiday famous, the dumb blonde of 'Born Yesterday.' Reaction was mixed to that revival, but not to her performance. She has since had small roles in 'The Good Wife' on TV and Woody Allen's movie 'Midnight in Paris,' and now, at 27, Arianda is back in 'Venus in Fur,' this time on Broadway. She is just as good as she was. Her co-star Hugh Dancy is better than the actor he replaced, hard-charging when on the offense, mesmerizing in his submission, persuasive as a European because he is one. A few things about the play, though, have been lost in the transfer.
