Sometimes the scariest part of dating is what you bring with you. Nicole likes things orderly: clean dating profiles, curated apartments, clear exits. Beth is all instinct: showing up uninvited to book club, sending too many flowers, and whisking Nicole off to a midnight date under the stars. What begins as an intoxicating collision of opposites turns bizarre as romance descends into obsession, fear takes on a life of its own, and both women find themselves haunted by a woman in a red raincoat. A star-gazing dark comedy, Venus launches the 2026-2027 season with a bang (or a shovel?), as Woolly’s new Artistic Director Reggie D. White helms this celestial fever dream by Steve Yockey (creator of HBO’s The Flight Attendant, Netflix’s Dead Boy Detective).
