‘Veronica’s Room’ play dates, times and ticket info
Play: Veronica’s Room
Playwright: Ira Levin
Synopsis: Susan is a young woman out on a date with a man she’s just met. She’s stopped by an elderly Irish couple by the name of John and Maureen Mackey who ask her to do an unusual favor for them. Susan, it seems, bears a remarkable resemblance to the deceased sister of the woman for whom they work. Now senile, Cissie Brabissant believes it to be 1935 and thinks her sister, Veronica, is still alive. If Susan could just 
briefly dress up like Veronica, it would give poor Cissie some peace, solace and a much-needed sense of closure. Good-hearted to a fault, how can Susan say no. At the mansion, the Mackeys escort Susan to Veronica’s room, where she’ll find her old clothes. But once dressed in Veronica’s clothes, Susan finds herself locked in the role and locked in Veronica’s room – or is she Veronica pretending in 1935 to be an imaginary Susan?
