Love, Marilyn

T0480980859
'Marilyn Monroe (1926 - 1962), was born Norma Jean baker, in a charity ward in Hollywood. She became a filmstar and a 'poster person', with seemingly mythic status and an aura of immortal beauty and desirability. Yet in reality, her life was tragic in its drug dependency, suicidal tendencies and mental breakdowns. She was in and out of hospitals and the divorce courts, due to a string of failed affairs and miscarriages. Her famous lovers and husbands included Frank Sinatra, Arthur Miller and John f Kennedy himself. What was it like to be her? And how did her life spiral out of control? What can we learn about her from the people closest to her? This play explores her life as seen from many viewpoints, as all the characters involved in Marilyn's life have a part to play including Arthur Miller, Joe Schenk, Dr Greenson and Joe DiMaggio. In the final scenes we imagine what her last night alive may have been like, and speculate on why she died.
