Rosemary is a two-act, full-length, single-set, six-character drama about Rosemary Kennedy and her family. The time span is 1936 to the recent past.
We see the world of Rosemary, the eldest daughter, and the third of nine children, and her tragedy, which unfolded in secret, and which preceded her family’s ascent to the fame and heartbreak witnessed by the world.
The play has been produced in Chicago (2001, PROP Theatre at Victory Gardens) and Philadelphia (2003, InterAct Theatre), and was awarded Chicago’s Joseph Jefferson Citation for “Outstanding New Work.”
