Venus in Fur, starring Hugh Dancy and Nina Arianda, begins its Broadway transfer at the Lyceum Theatre.
Loosely adapted from an infamous erotic novel, Venus in Fur centers on power plays between an ambitious young actress (Arianda) and a playwright/director (Dancy) after she arrives for an audition. Venus in Fur first opened at off-Broadway's Classic Stage Company on January 26, 2010, in a production starring Arianda and Wes Bentley. The Broadway mounting opened at the Samuel J. Friedman Theatre on November 8, 2011.
