Bizarre thriller
A bizarre thriller with some horrific twists and turns in the plot will open the 1984 season of fulllength plays at the Elmwood Playhouse. “Veronica’s Room,” by Ira Levin, has a cast of four very experienced actors, directed by Claire Marsh, who says the play should “entertain, shock and gener-
ally provide Elmwood audiences with something quite different to what they’re used to.” Written by a master of the macabre the play entwines reality and fantasy so much that one critic described it as being like “finding yourself in someone else’s nightmare.” The cast is Helen Coulson, the girl, John Riddell, the
young man, Toni Glue, the woman, and Barry Grant, the man. The play was first presented in Ira Levin’s home city, New York, in 1973 and had a highly successful season. The play opens at the Elmwood Playhouse on March 7 until March 10 and from March 1417.
