The Marlowe Players

presented

Veronica's Room

by Ira Levin

Susan Kerner and Larry Eastwood are invited to the Brabissant mansion by the Mackeys who are struck by Susan's resemblance to Veronica Brabissant, long-dead daughter of the family for whom they work. Susan goes along with the charade to comfort Veronica's only living relative. But once 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?


This production was dedicated to two former members of the Marlowes who, sadly, died during rehearsals - Frank Grundy and Alan Morton
Frank, was not a face that our audiences would have been familiar with but he was a valuable member of our backstage crew and could always be relied upon to find some of the more unusual items required for our set building in his garage cum workshop. His skillful contribution as a member of the set construction team and his cheery personality will be greatly missed.
Alan, on the other hand, will be well-known to many of you for his numerous roles over many years, his timing was immaculate and his sense of fun was always apparent. He was justly proud of the Eagle Award he was presented with last year for his performance in Lady Windermere's Fan and will be remembered by us all for his great courage during a long battle against cancer - he was a friend and a gentleman.
