Veronica's Room
by
Ira Levin
Directed by Sylvia Stewart
11th - 18th October 2014
The play opens with an elderly couple inviting a young girl (Susan)
and her date, whom they had spotted while dining at a restaurant, to
visit the bedroom of a dead girl (Veronica) that they knew and who
looked like Susan. The young pair accept the invitation, led by
curiosity to see a photograph that shows Veronica's likeness. Before
long, they are trapped in an unexpected situation that leads to a
dramatic ending.
A successful novelist and playwright, Ira Levin (1929-2007) became a
best-selling author with his first novel, 1953's A Kiss Before Dying.
More thrilling works followed, including 1968's Rosemary's Baby and
1976's The Boys from Brazil, which were later turned into feature
films.
