VENUS IN FUR (2017) written by David Ives Inspired by the novel by author Leopold von Sacher-Masoch

"A two-hander, and one about sadomasochism to boot, is a very personal journey for all involved, on stage or in the auditorium. I was well aware of what this part was going to involve when I came into it. I knew I was going to be onstage next to one of the most beautiful actresses of my generation wearing an incredibly revealing costume. I also know that she has a performance ability that augments the great writing to make her shine. It is wonderful to be in a play where the female character is the one that shines so brightly, because that is frustratingly rare. Thomas goes on one hell of a journey emotionally. It’s just quieter. It’s Saturn next to Jupiter." — DAVID OAKES

If It Isn't the War It's the Weather is such a good title, I wish they'd gone with that. Piece of Cake and Square One are pretty good. And while I like the double meaning of Din-Din, I would never be able to bring myself to say it aloud.
