VENUS

by Suzan-Lori Parks
directed by Gigi Jennewein Fenlon
February 2-5, 2006

You’ve never seen anything like her. She’s an exotic African beauty: her dark skin, her gorgeous eyes, her full bosom. And she’s a big-bottomed girl! A novelty. She’d make a splendid freak!  Pulitzer Prize-winning author Parks has crafted Venus from the true story of Saartjie Baartmann, who was deceptively lured from her South African home to a life of exploitation and disappointment as the Venus Hottentot in early 19th-century London.

 This production is recommended for mature audiences only.
