Venus at Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company

Dates: 9/9/2026 - 10/4/2026


Share
Venus is a dark comedy by Steve Yockey, creator of HBO's Flight Attendant and Netflix's Dead Boy Detective, directed by Woolly Mammoth Artistic Director Reggie D. White. Nicole likes things orderly while Beth is all instinct, and what begins as an intoxicating collision of opposites turns bizarre as romance descends into obsession. Fear takes on a life of its own and both women find themselves haunted by their pasts, their patterns, and a strange woman in a red raincoat. The production is a National New Play Network Rolling World Premiere.
