A game of domination and submission gets the stage treatment in the local premiere of ‘Venus in Fur’
Thomas (Chris Hury), a writer-director, is desperate to find the right actress for the lead in his latest literary adaptation. Vanda (Alison Pistorius) is equally desperate to get cast. Despite arriving late and being completely wrong for the part, Vanda seduces Thomas in a rondelet of domination and submission in the provocative Tony Award-winning hit Venus in Fur, which gets its regional premiere from Circle Theatre.
