Bluebarn Theatre Presents “Venus in Fur”

This month, the Bluebarn Theatre (www.bluebarn.org) will showcase performances of Venus in Fur by David Ives.

Inspired by the classic 1870 erotic novel and a 2012 Tony nominee for best play, Venus in Fur goes behind the scenes at an audition, where a playwright/director and a mysterious young actress blur the lines between fantasy and reality, seduction and power. As the two work through the script, they enter into an increasingly serious game of submission and domination that only one of them can win.

Venus in Fur is directed by Ablan Roblin. The cast features Matthew Olsen as Thomas and Sarah Carlson-Brown as Vanda. Set & Lighting Design by Steven Williams, Costume Design by Georgiann Regan, Sound Design by William Kirby. Production Stage Manager is Meghan Boucher, with Dramaturgy by Barry Carman.

Performance dates/times: February 1 – 25; Thursday, Friday, and Saturday performances at 7:30 p.m.; Sunday, February 11 at 6:00 p.m.; Sunday, February 18 at 2:00 p.m.; Sunday, February 25 at 6:00 p.m. Ticket price is $30 for adults and $25 for seniors 65+ and students. For tickets, call the BLUEBARN box office Monday-Friday 9:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. or visit www.bluebarn.org.
