Venus
By Suzan-Lori Parks
February 10 - 26
Directed by Associate Artistic Director Jyana S.
Gregory
Cleveland Public
Theatre
Gordon Square Theatre
6415 Detroit Avenue, Cleveland
216.631.2727
February 12 Opening Night performance 7:00 with
after-party $35
A grandly theatrical portrait of the 19th Century
historical figure Saartjie Baartman, who was
toured
through Europe as an African side-show freak billed
as the Venus Hottentot, famous for her enormous
buttocks. Playful, shocking, sweet and sometimes
cruel, the play deals candidly with oppression.
Written in a dizzyingly theatrical language combining
African-American rhythms with a keen ear for poetry,
Venus comes to life with force on the stage, bringing
us a story of love, loss, grief and strength and the
story of a woman made voiceless by history.
Admission ranges $10 - $35
Pay What You Can Thursdays performances: up to
two people in a party pay at least $1 each; tickets
subject to availability beginning one hour before the
performance
