It’s the dark comedy with a seductively intoxicating edge – and David Oakes and Natalie Dormer look like they’re well in the spirit of things.

The critically acclaimed two-hander Venus In Fur surrounds a meeting between enigmatic actress Vanda Jordan (Dormer) and director Thomas Novachek (Oakes).

Vanda appears unannounced for an audition with Thomas, determined to land the leading role in his new production – despite seeming wrong for the part.

Over one evening in downtown Manhattan their charged meeting becomes a seductive dance to the end, in an intoxicating dark comedy of desire, fantasy and the innate love of fur.

The production is directed by Patrick Marber, and runs for a strictly limited nine week engagement.

The West End premiere of Venus In Fur begins previews on 6 October, playing until 9 December.
