THE PLOT : 

Thomas Novachek is the writer-director of a new play,  an adaptation of the historic  novel Venus in Furs by  Sacher-Masoch ( who inspired the term “masochism“). The play begins with the Director on the telephone complaining  about the  auditions and  the actresses of that day . Suddenly, at the last minute, a new actress, Vanda  bursts in. At first it’s hard to imagine how she can interest  the director: She’s bad mannered  and low classed . But she convinces the directore  to let her audition  and the director will read in the other male character . Much happens during this dynamic reading, as lightning flashes and thunder crashes outside. The actress  shows astonishing insights into the story and her character, and  performs a terrific audition. The subject of the play is sexual domination and submission. As the audition continues Vanda attacks the script as sexist,  pornography. Thomas at first defends it as a faithful adaptation of a literary classic about passion and desire. Vanda accuses Thomas of having his own masochistic fantasies, which he denies. However, as the story  develops, he increasingly identifies with the masochistic male lead in the play. By the end  he has become Vanda’s slave.

Roman Polanski made a 2013 French-language erotic drama film  based on the play  by American playwright David Ives
