== Plot ==
Inspired by the true-life story of Sarah “Saartjie” Baartman, the play Venus provides a fictional account of her life abroad in 19th century London. She is lured away from her home in South Africa with the promise of riches and is put on display for British and Parisian audiences. After being sold to the owner of a sideshow known as The Mother-Showman, she is exhibited for her steatopygia and is given the stage name "The Hottentot Venus." Baartman's "act" leads to a prospering business, with Europeans all over traveling to see the display of her genitalia and buttocks. The Baron Docteur takes interest in Saartjie, who buys her from the Mother-Showman and takes her with him to Paris as his mistress. However, the Baron Docteur has plans to study her steatopygia after her death. After she contracts gonorrhea from the Baron Docteur, he conspires with his Grade-School Chum to have her jailed until her death. After her untimely death in the jail cell in Paris, a plaster cast of her body along with her skeleton is displayed at the Musée de l'Homme.
