‘Venus in Fur’ pairs Steven Coe and Madelaine Weymouth in cerebrally carnal erotic drama

Coming to The Studio Players in Golden Gate August 23 is Venus in Fur directed by Anna Segreto.

The play stars Madelaine Weymouth and Steven Coe.

Desperate to find an actress to play the female lead in his adaptation of the classic tale of sadomasochism, Venus in Fur, a beleaguered playwright/director auditions a vulgar and equally desperate actress. Though utterly wrong for the sophisticated part, Vanda piques the playwright’s 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.

A mysterious, funny and erotic drama, “Venus in Fur” invites “both carnal and cerebral excitement” say the Village Voice.

The Studio Players performs in Golden Gate Community Center’s Joan Jenk Auditorium, which is located at 4701 Golden Gate Parkway, Naples, Florida 34116.
