Kathleen Chalfant stars as the beleaguered Rose Kennedy in this new one-woman show
A stirring look at the matriarch behind the Kennedy dynasty, Tony nominated actress Kathleen Chalfant stars as the eponymous Rose as she questions why so much tragedy befell her family. This one-woman play gives the Kennedy matriarch a rare voice to explore how her family's choices affected their entire destiny, and is set one week after the fateful 1969 cliff plunge at Chappaquiddick that saw the death of a young woman in the car that her son Teddy was driving. Rose also explores the heartbreaking tale about her husband's choice to lobotomise their daughter Rosemary, which caused irreversible damage. And not forgetting of course, the assassination of her son Jack...
Presented by all-woman's non-profit theatre company Nora's Playhouse, Rose is slated as the first in a line of female-centric plays at the Clurman Theatre, with further projects to follow. Laurence Leamer, the playwright used his 40 plus hours of taped interviews with Kennedy to create both her biography, and now the play in order to give her as authentic a voice as possible. The highs and lows of the Kennedy story are portrayed in stark real life with the backdrop of their Hyannis Port hideaway, painting a portrait of a family in constant flux.
