A seductive battle of wit, power, and performance.

The Other Road Theater Project opens its inaugural season with David Ives’ Venus in Fur, a sharp, intimate, and psychologically charged play where the line between audition and performance begins to disappear.

At the end of a long day of auditions, a frustrated director is ready to give up on casting the lead role in his new adaptation of Venus in Furs. Then Vanda arrives: late, chaotic, seemingly unprepared, and somehow exactly right. What begins as a simple audition quickly becomes something far more dangerous as actor and director slip in and out of the play, testing each other’s control, desire, intellect, and assumptions.

Funny, seductive, theatrical, and unsettling, Venus in Fur is a two-person power play about gender, authorship, dominance, and the roles we perform to get what we want.

This production marks the first show from The Other Road Theater Project, a new Denver/Aurora theater company creating bold, intimate productions of psychologically rich plays. Small on purpose and bold by design, The Other Road is built for audiences who want theater that feels immediate, human, and impossible to look away from.

Content Warning: This play is for mature audiences only, containing intense sexual themes/language, BDSM, and mentions of child abuse

VENUS IN FUR is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Dramatists Play Service. www.concordtheatricals.com
