TV: Watch Highlights from Goodman Theatre's VENUS IN FUR

Based on the 1869 novella by Leopold von Sacher-Masoch-for whom "Masochism" was named-Venus in Fur's critically acclaimed Broadway run was hailed as a "suspense-packed" (New York Times), "electric" (Entertainment Weekly), "wildly intelligent and sometimes frightening" (New Yorker), "madly funny" (Wall Street Journal) and a "time-tripping game of cat and mouse" (Bloomberg). When Vanda (Drinkall) arrives hours late to an audition for a play based on a nineteenth century erotic novel, the director, Thomas (Collins), is less than impressed. But Vanda's surprisingly masterful performance of the script flips Thomas' expectations and initiates a tango for dominance between them. As the audition unfolds, both actress and director morph into Sacher-Masoch's alternately tortured and bemused lovers, switching roles on a dime and exploring shifts in power and the blurring of identities.
