Budapest English Theatre: Venus In Fur, 12 - 13 December
Budapest English Theatre is delighted to bring to Budapest the acclaimed Prague Shakespeare Company with their production of Venus in Fur by David Ives. Venus in Fur was the sexiest, funniest, most acclaimed Broadway play of 2012! It became an international smash hit and was adapted for film in 2013 by Roman Polanski.

Vanda is an unusually talented young actress, determined to land the lead in Thomas’ new play, an adaptation of the 1870 novel Venus in Furs by the Austrian author Leopold von Sacher-Masoch (the novel that inspired the term Masochism).

Her emotionally charged audition becomes an electrifying game of cat and mouse that blurs the lines between fantasy and reality, seduction and power, love and sex.

As the two work through the script, they shift between play and reality, entering into an increasingly serious game of submission and domination that only one of them can win.

The Prague Shakespeare Company presents professional English language theatre with a multinational ensemble of professional theatre artists.

This “knock-out interpretation” (Prague Post) stars US film and theatre actor Jessica Boone and award winning US actor and director Guy Roberts.
