COTUIT – Following a sold out run in April, Cotuit Center for the Arts will present a special one-night only performance of “Rose.”
The one-woman play by Laurence Leamer is Wednesday, August 14 at 7:30 pm on the Main Stage.
Proceeds will benefit the arts programming at the center.
Set in 1969 in the parlor of the Kennedy’s Hyannis Port compound a week after Teddy’s fateful error on a bridge at Chappaquiddick, “Rose” is the story of the triumphs and sorrows of Rose Fitzpatrick Kennedy, her family, her husband, and her nine children.
Played by Linda Monchik, Rose recalls the accomplishments and the losses of the Kennedy family, reflects on the Camelot years and the more difficult times, and finds new understanding of the choices she made as well as those made by her husband and children.
Leamer, a journalist and author, has written extensively about the Kennedys. He based his play on 40 hours of audio interviews with Rose Kennedy conducted by Robert Coughlan, the ghost writer of her 1974 memoir.
Tickets are $50, $45 for seniors, and $40 for members. For more information and to purchase tickets, visit artsonthecape.org or call 508-428-0669.
