Veronica’s room (play) @ Eltham Little Theatre
Sep 15 @ 2:00 pm – 4:00 pm

During 2024, Eltham Little Theatre are generously offering U3A members half price tickets for their Thursday evening and Sunday matinee shows. The dates for which this is applicable for Veronica’s room are Thursday, 19th September and Sundays, 8th and 15th September.

Is Susan actually Susan, a self-possessed college student in 1973? Or is she Veronica, a conflicted young lady of 1935, desperately believing herself to be a later Susan? What begins as a seeming mission of mercy ends up a terrifying crisis of self-doubt amongst malevolent forces, with the audience no less certain of Veronica/Susan’s identity than she is.

Veronica’s Room is a thriller by Ira Levin, author of Deathtrap and Rosemary’s Baby.

Here are the mechanics: you book your tickets online. Choose the date, then either individual tickets or a full table of 6, then the number of ‘U3A member’ tickets, then enter the ‘502024’ discount code in the ‘gift certificate / promotion code’ box, then pay.
