Promo stills + 3 bonus gifs of Anson Mount and Steffanie Leigh starring in The Singapore Repertory Theatre production of Venus in Fur, March 15 - April 6 2013, Singapore. Written by David Ives, directed by Ed Sylvanus Iskandar.

"The play starts off on a humorous note with Anson Mount talking to his fiancee on the telephone complaining about the lack of talented actresses for his play, Venus in Fur. Suddenly, Steffanie Leigh enters and begs to audition for the role of Vanda. This then turns into a play within a play where we see the power of balance switching from the director to the actress. One is gripped by Steffanie when she plays sweet and naïve Vanda (the actress undergoing an audition) who takes on a more dominant role when she plays the character in the play within the play. At the same time, Anson's character of the all-controlling director changes to that of a submissive man who throws himself at the feet of Vanda." - Popspoken.com, March 24 2013

"The play [...] takes all stereotypes of men and women with their respective gender roles and throws them out the window. This will surprise even the most alert of audience members and catch them off-guard, with scenes powerful enough to catch one’s breath away, without coming off as raunchy—no small feat for a play displaying sadomasochistic themes. The scenes go far enough, and just stop before it’s too much." - theurbanwire.com, March 15 2013
