A STRIKING, sultry and honest play is set for the stage at Healesville’s Memo Hall next Saturday, and the Mail has two double passes to give away for the show.
Drowning in Veronica Lake will be performed at the Memo from 7.30pm on Saturday 8 August.
Alex Ellis plays Veronica Lake, a colossal Hollywood star in the 1940s who was smart, sexy and typecast as a femme fatale from an early age.
She polarised the industry, with people either loving or hating her, became the benchmark for self-destructive celebrities.
Set 40 years later, Drowning in Veronica Lake focuses on the show’s namesake wrestling with her stardom, alcohol, men and her steady decline towards obscurity.
Written by Phil Ormsby, the play attempts to shine a light on celebrity, tragedy and isolation in the context of those who are in the limelight, in front of millions of watching eyes.
The Mail has two double passes to give away to the show, each valued at $44.
