Back to topJimmy's Play Reading Book Club: Venus in Fur by David Ives
In partnership with the Firebird Theatre Company, local book enthusiast Jimmy Utley leads a monthly discussion of plays that have had an impact not only on the theatrical world, but the social world as well. Emphasis will be placed on variety, with both classic and contemporary selections, authors with varied backgrounds, interesting thematic concepts, etc. etc. etc.
In April, we're reading Venus in Fur by David Ives. A young playwright, Thomas, has written an adaptation of the 1870 novel Venus in Fur by Leopold von Sacher-Masoch (after whom the term "masochism" was coined); the novel is the story of an obsessive adulterous relationship between a man and the mistress to whom he becomes enslaved.
