Venus in Fur - 2012 - Broadway History , Info & More

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

Broadway Review: ‘Venus in Fur’
8 / 10

Fiery, intense and so sexy you could sweat, the production of David Ives' new Venus in Fur, a sensation when it ran Off-Broadway last year, opened in a remounted production Tuesday on Broadway. Much of the heat comes from a living generator, the actress Nina Arianda, who reprises the role she created downtown in the original production. There's a booster to this furnace - the Broadway actor and film star Hugh Dancy, who is essentially her prey. The two of them deliver performances that bubble, then explode, on the stage of Manhattan Theatre Club's Friedman Theatre.

'Venus in Fur'
6 / 10

Whoever said lightning doesn't strike twice hasn't seen Nina Arianda reprise her breakout role in David Ives' clever but repetitive comedy 'Venus in Fur.' Playing Vanda, a seemingly ditzy and desperate actress auditioning for a job, she's so funny, smart and sexy that watching her brings unexpected jolts like an electrical shock.
