Venus in Fur
By David Ives | Directed by Ken Kaissar

Oct 22 – Nov 10, 2024

Join us for an intimate & unique theatre experience at The Regency Room!

A sexy and hilarious tale about an uninhibited actress who barges into an audition room just when the director is ready to give up for the day. As she fights to win the part, the power slowly changes hands as she turns the tide on the writer-director and his ideas about seduction. 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. Guaranteed to charm and mesmerize.

Contains sexual content & mature themes. Suggested for ages 17+.

Run time: 1 hour and 45 minutes, no intermission

INTIMATE • WITTY • SEXY

Honorary Producers: Andrew and Harriet Singer

BRT is being renovated to upgrade the patron experience!
