"Veronica's Room"

Written by Ira Levin

Synopsis:

The elderly couple are so amazed that Susan looked exactly like long dead Veronica. When they asked her to come home and pretend to be Veronica to make a dying old woman happy, it seemed like such a small thing to ask. But suddenly, things aren't going the way Susan expected. As a child, Susan was told by her mother, not to talk to strangers. Susan should have listened.

"Veronica's Room," written by celebrated playwright Ira Levin, is a totally absorbing spider's web entwining fantasy and reality. Levin is world-renowned for ''Deathtrap,'' his Broadway thriller, as well as for ''Rosemary's Baby,'' his novel of the supernatural.

One famous theatre critic described "Veronica's Room" in this way: "It's like being trapped in someone else's nightmare . . . with a jarring and surprising climax."

The Village Voice summed up "Veronica's Room" as a "neat, elegant thriller."
