A sexy provocative comedy that is sure to be the hottest night in Asheville.

North Carolina Stage Company (NC Stage) is excited to work again with Immediate Theatre Project to present Venus In Fur by David Ives, a smash Broadway hit that The New York Times called, “90 minutes of good, kinky fun!”

When Vanda arrives soaked from the rain and late to audition for a play based on a nineteenth-century erotic novel, the director, Thomas, is less than thrilled. The reading quickly turns into a tango for dominance between the young actress and the director.

This sexy comedy was nominated for a Tony Award for Best Play.

Immediate Theatre Project’s Willie Repoley (Thomas) will be co-starring with Hannah Sloat (Vanda) who is returning to NC Stage from a recent turn on Broadway in the Tony Award winning production War Horse. Angie Flynn-McIver will be directing this talented pair.

North Carolina Stage Company is Asheville’s only professional theatre celebrating its 12th year producing plays for the Asheville community. Founded by Charlie and Angie Flynn-McIver, the theatre has been voted best local theatre in the Mountain Xpress Best of WNC Poll. NC Stage was also recently awarded the American Theatre Wing National Theatre Company Grant.
