Veronica's Room and Other Dramas: Dr. Cook's Garden, Interlock, and Veronica's Room

Ira Levin's trio of dramatic plays includes Veronica's Room, a chilling psychological drama that explores the thin line between reality and madness. This beautiful new edition includes an introduction by Nicholas Levin.

In Veronica's Room, self-possessed college student, Susan, is enticed to an ornate and ominous Victorian house by its two aging caretakers, and agrees to impersonate the long-dead sister of an elderly spinster who is at death's door. As the evening wears on, Susan wonders, is she who she thinks she is--a self-assured college student of the 1970s--or is she really Veronica, a conflicted young lady living in 1935, imagining herself to be Susan?

Crafted like a Rubik's Cube within a kaleidoscope, the play features four ensemble roles that constitute some of the most complex in the theatrical canon. Gaslighting, manipulation, repression, and unrelenting suspense keep the audience aghast and guessing until the very end.
