At Friday's performance, the Vermont Stage production, directed by Artistic Director Cristina Alicea, was taut, tense, unexpected and deliciously funny.

Unlike many plays that take awhile to develop, the Vermont Stage production presented Wednesday became fascinating almost immediately, thanks primarily to the work of the two performers and their director... [McGovern and Gullikson] are both fearless and feral. They excel at the little things, too, from the expressions on their faces when the other character is pouring his or her heart out to the moments of extraordinary silence they create.

All the words that might tempt you to see Venus in Fur - comedy, sex, role reversal, erotic literature, sado-masochism - do apply, but the biggest draw turns out to be the acting.... Thomas and Vanda dissect the nature of seduction, but in the end it is the viewer who is seduced.
