Veronica’s
Room
Vintage
Theatre: 9/13 – 10/13
“Veronica’s Room”
will creep you out for days!
Dan Nolan, Rachel Bouchard and Anne Smith Myers
Shrouded in white,
Tanner Johnson Heck’s claustrophobic set design ushers us into this unsettling
world accompanied by the ominous viola in Luke Allen Terry’s awesome sound
design.
At the top of the
show a fussy old Irish woman and her oh so jolly husband are talking a lovely
young woman into taking a room in their home. A somewhat enigmatic lady named
Veronica once lived there.
Sorry, but that’s all
I’ll tell you regarding Ira Levin’s (Remember “Rosemary’s Baby?”) spine
tingling thriller. Any more and I’d be giving you spoilers along with some
goose bumps and you need to experience this one first hand.
Rachel Bouchard and Drew Hirschboeck
Director Bernie
Cardell has done superb work in the casting. Man, Woman, Girl and Boy are
played by: Dan Nolan, Anne Smith Myers, Rachel Bouchard and Drew Hirschboeck
respectively.
Cardell directs this taut thriller with a
meticulous eye. Everything has a Hitchcockian feel to it and the suspense had
this reviewer on the edge of his seat throughout.
The set-up in Act One
is one of the most intriguing to have been seen in many a
season. It allows for a second act of harrowing contrast in which all four of
these actors get to unleash a torrent of powerful emotion.
They’ve extended the
show a week already. If fans of this kind of amped up nerve jangling thriller
get a whiff of the excitement in “Veronica’s Room” the management could be required to
extend again.
