Venus In Fur is a one-act two-person play written by David Ives and is, in part, based on the book Venus in Furs by Leopold von Sacher-Masoch, the novel which is credited with inspiring masochism both as a term and a kink.Thomas Novachek, a playwright/director, has just spent a long day unsuccessfully auditioning actresses to play the part of Wanda von Dunayev in his adaptation of Venus in Furs. Just as he is about to leave for the day, a woman named Wanda (pronounced "Vanda") Jordan bursts in, claiming she's got an audition. Despite Thomas not being able to find her name on the list of auditionees and his general irritation at the situation, Wanda convinces him to not only allow her the audition, but also to be her acting partner. As the pair read through the script, Wanda demonstrates an uncanny knack for the role, the lines of control and what is real and fiction become increasingly blurred.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The play was first performed in 2010 off-Broadway starring Nina Adriana as Vanda and Wes Bentley as Thomas. The production then transferred to Broadway in 2011 with Hugh Dancy replacing Bentley, where it earned a Tony nomination for "Best Play" and Adriana won the Tony award for "Best Actress in a Play". In 2017, the play premiered in London starring Natalie Dormer and David Oakes. The play has also been produced in Australia, Canada and Lebanon, and a French-language film version was released in 2013 starring Emmanuelle Seigner and Mathieu Amalric, directed by Roman Polański. | |

Anachronism Stew | |
| Venus In Fur (Theatre) / int_259d5879 | comment |
Anachronism Stew: Averted by the costumes and props in Vanda's bag. One of the first things that tips us off that everything's not quite as she claims is the amount of care she's put into finding a period-appropriate dress to wear. | |

All Take and No Give: In the play within a play, both characters accuse the other of turning their "relationship" into this. | |

Betty and Veronica: It's hinted several times that this is how Thomas sees his relationships with his fiancee Stacy (the "Betty") and Vanda (the "Veronica"). | |

Berserk Button: For Thomas, insulting or even questioning his writing. Or just being a bad actress. For Vanda, the degradation of women. | |
