The Golden Age of Hollywood revisited, and its dark underbelly exposed!

Revisit the Golden Age of Hollywood with a darkly comic tribute to 1940s screen siren - Veronica Lake. Smart, sexy, and ice-cool, in 1942 Lake was the hottest discovery in Hollywood, dining with the President and piloting her own plane across the continent.

In less than a decade she was stuck in a dramatic nose dive, famously sued by her own mother and bankrupted by the IRS. Now, trapped somewhere between Paramount and Purgatory, she wrestles with stardom, booze, the wrong men and a spectacular decline into obscurity.

A striking, sultry and honest play that combines the majestic acting prowess of Alex Ellis with Phil Ormsby’s razor sharp and engaging script, and a gown to die for, to produce a thoroughly enjoyable night of theatre.  The performance shines a light on celebrity, tragedy and isolation, whilst in the eyes of millions.

'A stunning and mesmerising performance enhanced by an intelligent and sensitive script by Phil Ormsby and expressive soundscape arranged by Colleen Davis... A brilliant cameo featuring an extraordinary talent.' The National Business Review
