Mystery thriller “Veronica’s Room” will be presented by the Rockville Little Theatre with performances Friday-Sunday, Sept. 27-29, at the F. Scott Fitzgerald Theatre in Rockville. The play was writer by Ira Levin, who is the author of “Rosemary's Baby,” and explores the thin line between fantasy and reality, madness and murder.
The F. Scott Fitzgerald Theatre is located at 603 Edmonston Dr. in Rockville. Performances on Friday, Sept. 27, and Saturday, Sept. 28, begin at 8 p.m. The performance on Sunday, Sept. 29, starts at 2 p.m.
In the play directed by David Dieudonne, students Susan and Larry find themselves as guests enticed to the Brabissant mansion by its dissolute caretakers, the lonely Mackeys. Struck by Susan’s strong resemblance to Veronica Brabissant, the long-dead daughter of the family for whom they work, the older couple gradually induce her to impersonate Veronica briefly to solace the only living Brabissant, her addled sister who believes Veronica remains alive. Dressed in Veronica’s clothes, Susan finds herself locked in the role and locked in Veronica’s room. Or is she Veronica, in 1935, pretending to be an imaginary Susan?
Tickets for Veronica’s room are $22. Tickets for students and seniors are $20.
