Venus in Fur comes to Perseverance

Venus in Fur at Perseverance Theatre

Perseverance Theatre presents Cyrano’s Theatre Company’s production of Venus in Fur, beginning April 13.

This is a seductive, darkly funny play–a teeter-tottering test of wills that invites both carnal and cerebral excitement. Venus in Fur sparks with the friction of two people who challenge and disagree with each other, with an undercurrent of a mutual sexual attraction. It was one of the most-produced plays in the United States in 2015. It has mature themes, and is on the mainstage at Perseverance Theatre in Douglas. It runs April 13, 14, 15, 16 at 7:30 p.m., & April 17 at 4 p.m. Tickets are $25.
