VENUS IN FUR
Written by David Ives
Directed by Jeff Catanese

Desperate director Thomas Novachek auditions a seemingly uncouth actress named Vanda for his play based on an 1870 erotic novel. As she reads, she transforms, taking control of the audition and inverting the power dynamics in a tense, funny, and seductive battle of wits that blurs the lines between reality and the play’s S&M fantasy.

Triggers: Partial Nudity; Frank Talk of Sex, Sexual Control, Submission, and Domination; Adult Language.
Physical Ability: Must be able to sit, walk and kneel (both roles); change clothes quickly, use a flogger (Vanda)

Roles:
• Vanda Jordan/Vanda (Age: 20s-40s; Race: Any; Gender: Female presenting)
Intimacy: Appears in bra and panties at several points in the play. Engages in mild fetish play.

Initially, Vanda is an enigma. She comes off as brash and vulgar, but as we experience her “audition,” we see that she is very intelligent, empowered and off-putting in any way she decides to be. Her transformation suggests that there’s always more that we are not seeing. Vanda is the comedic and powerful center of the play as she goes from hapless actress to skilled dominatrix to the Goddess of femininity herself.

• Thomas Novachek/Severin (Age: 20s-40s; Race: Any; Gender: Male presenting)
Intimacy: Is in the presence of a partially nude (bra and panties) female. Engages in mild fetish play.

​At the top of the show, Thomas is how we stereotypically imagine most writer/directors: self-assured, narcissistic and impatient. Once Vanda enters and asserts her position, we find him more vulnerable than even he thought. As they read his play together, Thomas finds himself losing the power and entitlement his life had provided him.
