Venus in Fur
Theatre Arts
Idaho Repertory Theatre proudly presents “Venus in Fur,” a mysterious, funny and erotic drama by David Ives, directed by Associate Professor Craig A. Miller.
Thomas, a beleaguered playwright and director, is desperate to find an actress to play Vanda, the female lead in his adaptation of the classic sadomasochistic tale “Venus in Fur.” Into his empty audition room walks a vulgar and equally desperate actress — oddly enough, named Vanda.
Though utterly wrong for the sophisticated part, Vanda exhibits a strange command of the material, piquing Thomas' interest with her seductive talents and secretive manner. As the two work through the script, they blur the line between play and reality, entering into an increasingly serious game of submission and domination that only one of them can win.
This is an 18+ production.
Performances run July 9-26 in the Forge Theatre, 404 Sweet Ave. Moscow. Tickets are free for U of I students or $6-$26 for the general public at uitickets.com.
University Location: The Forge Theater - Main Campus.
Saturday, July 11, 2026, 7:30 PM – 9:30 PM.
