The play, although in a sense avant-garde, yet comedic and well wrote, was essentially boy vs girl in a power play struggle. However it was genius with the acting, role switching, and well thought out plot and such. It was incredible, genius, and well worth going. I await its return to London.

Michael Patsev

Funny, kinky and absolutely captivating. A brilliant mix!

The show was 90 minutes of total engagement. Very well acted, staged and produced. Loved it!

D Hoyer

The acting by both Natalie Dormer and David Oakes was outstanding. They have good chemistry and work well together to carry the play, which has only the two of them in the cast. I did not know that plot before seeing the play and it was a bit strange at the end, but the performances were wonderful and made a very enjoyable show.

Camilla Corner

Venus in Fur

Hail Aphrodite? Hail Natalie Dormer! Phenomenal is the only way she can be described. The one set stage and the simplicity was the perfect backdrop for her, giving her the space to radiate talent. Dormer can change accent seamlessly, switching between three in the short one-and-a-half-hour play, each without fault; which eased the transition from character to character.

Venus in Fur in 250 words

Venus in Fur is a dark, intense comedy starring Natalie Dormer (Game of Thrones, The Hunger Games) and David Oakes (The Borgias, The Pillars of the Earth). I would describe Venus in Fur as an intense, dark comedy about sexual power play, but you could look at this production from many different angles.

REVIEW: Venus in Fur

In David Ives’ critically acclaimed Broadway smash hit play Venus in Fur, Natalie Dormer and David Oakes star in a limited nine-week run at the Theatre Royal Haymarket from 6 October.

This two-hander sees Dormer's Vanda Jackson arrive unannounced determined to audition for Oakes' director -Thomas Novachek - whose new production stars a character who shares her name. In this play within a play, characters are more layered than a bag of onions; but it is Dormer's Vanda(s) who steal the show.
