Description

Acclaimed in Norway and work shopped with the Actors Studio, NYC, this comedy captures the effervescent humor of Marilyn Monroe confused and intrigued by the signs she must follow to climb her way into heaven. Marilyn has just died and must audition for heaven. But her judges are her 13 aborted babies. Will she get into heaven? The play explores the multi-levels of complexity of cult goddess Marilyn Monroe – her vulnerability, anger, and how Americans’ worship of beauty and fame fueled her rise to stardom. The action takes place in the mind of Marilyn on an empty stage with a chair.
