Review: VENUS IN FUR at Dirt Dogs Theatre
March 06, 2026 For Knight, this represents her first chance to be the original aggressor rather than the avenging victim, and it’s wild to see her twist her narrative. She is stunning and statue-esque, and Olivia whiplashes between actress and countess with skill.
Dirt Dogs Theatre Co. to Present VENUS IN FUR This February
February 04, 2026 Kicking off 2026, Dirt Dogs Theatre Co. will present Venus in Fur. Drawing inspiration from Leopold von Sacher-Masoch's 1870 Marchella Venus in Furs, Ives' provocative and dark play is an exploration of power dynamics, control, and sexuality.About the Theatre
