Mad Cow Theatre's VENUS IN FUR Opens 10/18

Mad Cow Theatre will present the David Ives' hit Venus in Fur in our intimate Black Box Theatre October 18 - November 17, 2013.

The sexiest, funniest, most acclaimed hit of the recent Broadway season, 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 the erotic novel, Venus in Furs. During the reading, realities begin to shift and Thomas finds himself heading into dangerous territory. Does art imitate life? Or is it the other way around? Written by comic mastermind David Ives, this sizzling new play will keep you guessing until the very end.

The cast features Piper Rae Patterson (Dancing at Lughnasa, Enchanted April) as Vanda and Tim Williams (Laughter on the 23rd Floor, dir. Death of a Salesman) as Thomas, and direction by Peg O'Keef (The Year of Magical Thinking, August: Osage County).
