About the Show
Don’t f*** with a woman. Especially not when she’s channeling the gods. This June, the Hollywood Fringe Festival gets a bold jolt of erotic comedy and subversive power-play with Venus in Fur, David Ives’ sizzling two-hander that explores dominance, desire, and the performance of power. Directed by acclaimed theatre veteran Amir Korangy and starring award-winning duo Rachael Meyers and Bryan McKinley, this dark comedy promises to keep audiences on the edge of their seats—and maybe questioning who’s really in control.
In a dingy New York rehearsal room, a frustrated playwright/director is just about to call it a day—until Vanda arrives. She's unprepared, audacious, and all wrong for the role. Or is she? As the audition spirals into an electrifying tug-of-war, Venus in Fur blurs the boundaries between actor and character, power and submission, performance and reality. It's funny, fearless, and ferociously relevant.
