Veronica's Room

Centenary Theatre Company have a new play at the theatre in Chelmer.

A bit weird.  Well more than a bit weird.  Gaslighting on steroids.
No one, except perhaps the girl, is who they appear to be.  Seems to include all sorts of weirdness - people playing others and incest and implied rape.  

The production, was a bit flat.  A lot of just dialog between characters standing on stage.  

The final weirdness was that it just finished.  We thought it was just a second intermission and that there would be a third act.  But that was it.  No bow by the actors.  No wrapping it up with a conclusion.  Left feeling just a bit odd.

I note that the poster says May/June 2025.  I wonder whether the theatre company had been planning some other play and then had a schism and cancelled that and brought Veronica forward.
