A tale of the 1970s and a face from the past is the theme of Veronica’s Room showing at West Nottinghamshire College’s Create Theatre.

The play, by Zodiac Theatre, is being given a double showing on 27 and 28 February and begins in 1973 with an older couple who are completely amazed that Susan looks exactly like the long-dead Veronica.

When they ask her to come home and pretend to be Veronica to make a dying woman happy, it seems like such a small thing to ask.

But suddenly, things aren’t going the way Susan expected. As a child, Susan was told by her mother to talk to strangers…she should have listened.

Veronica’s Room is an absorbing spider’s web, entwining fantasy and reality, with a jarring and surprising climax.

Tickets for the show, which starts at 7.30pm, can be purchased from Zodiac Theatre by calling 07723 419071 and cost £9 each or £7 for concessions.
