Venus In Fur

H72 presents its next production - David Ives' "Venus in Fur" - a 90-minute, no-intermission, two-hander starring Osman Aboubakr and Farzana Palathingal, and directed by Juliska Szik.

In present-day New York, a young actress, Vanda Jordan, is determined to land the lead role in a new play written by Thomas Novacheck a middle-aged playwright/director based on Leopold von Sacher-Masoch’s 19th century novel Venus in Furs.

During her audition, she gets caught up in an electrifying game of cat and mouse with the writer/director, depicted through a sophisticated model of metatheatre.

Among its many accolades, this intelligent and unexpected showdown of the sexes was nominated for the Best Play Tony Award.

Join local theatre group H72 Productions at the home of theatre in Dubai - The Junction, Al Serkal Avenue - on 7th, 8th, 13th, 14th and 15th September - to watch a topical piece of theatre that pushes the envelope in its examination of gender roles and power.
