Vanda is determined to land the lead in Venus in Fur, a new play based on a classic erotic novel. Her emotionally charged audition for the playwright/director unexpectedly becomes an electrifying and dangerous game of cat and mouse that blurs the lines between fantasy and reality, seduction and power, love and sex.
Venus in Fur premiered Off-Broadway at the Classic Stage Company in 2010, and later opened on Broadway at the Samuel J. Friedman Theatre in 2011.
The cast of Venus in Fur at The Rep is Sarah Nedwek as Vanda and Jay Stratton (last seen in Bug) as Thomas.

The creative staff also includes Jason Coale, set designer; David Kay Mickelsen, costume designer; Seth Jackson, lighting designer; Rusty Wandall, sound designer; and Emilee Buchheit, stage manager.For more information about The Rep's production of Venus in Fur, including a guide introducing the characters, plot and background on the play; photos related to the production; and more, visit The Rep's comprehensive public website at www.repstl.org.
