Winter will turn several degrees colder when the chilling psychological thriller, Veronica’s Room, by Ira Levin (author of Deathtrap and Rosemary’s Baby), is on stage at The Bickford Theatre.

This chilling psychological mystery/thriller by the author of Deathtrap explores the thin line between fantasy and reality as it spins a web of deceit, madness and murder! A young couple is enticed to a mansion by its caretakers. There, the girl is persuaded to impersonate the deceased daughter of the owner for her sick sister—who believes she’s still alive. Wearing the dead girl’s clothes and trapped in her room, the nightmare truly begins.

Veronica’s Room stars (below L-R) Debra Whitfield, of New York City, as The Older Woman; Rick Delaney, of Orange, NJ, as The Older Man; Rosemary Glennon, of Lebanon, NJ, as The Young Woman; and Michael Manahan, of Morris Plains, NJ, as The Young Man.
