Venus In Fur premieres @ IDL
Theatre Pops Rick Harrelson & Heather Sams
Venus in Fur, the smash Broadway hit, dubbed “90 minutes of good, kinky fun” by The New York Times, makes its Oklahoma debut at IDL Ballroom February 19th-22nd, 2015. Theatre Pops presents this delicious play that weaves sex and theatre together for one weekend only.
When Vanda arrives several hours late to her audition for a play based on a nineteenth-century erotic novel, the director, Thomas, is less than impressed. But Vanda’s masterful performance flips the script on Thomas’ expectations and turns the session into a tango for dominance between actress and director, woman and man. Hailed as “seriously smart and very funny” by The New York Times, Venus in Fur is a laugh-out-loud study of the politics of sex and power that’s guaranteed to charm and mesmerize.
“Theatre Pops has always challenged the community to engage and to think, so this production seeks to do no less,” said Venus in Fur director George Romero.
Venus In Fur stars Rick Harrelson as Thomas Novachek and Heather Sams as Vanda Jordan.
