From the award-winning creators of Christmas Gothic, I,Elizabeth, Austen’s Women, Jane Eyre: An Autobiography and The Time Machine. August 5th, 1962: Monroe as we’ve never seen her before: alone in her bedroom, in dressing gown and underwear; no glitz, no glamour, no masks. Overdosed on pills, the woman behind the icon unravels her remarkable life, taking us back through the memories of her closest relationships. Repeatedly stalked by a mysterious caller, the Hollywood icon tells all (Joe Di Maggio, Clark Gable, Arthur Miller, her mother – it’s all here), revealing a biting intelligence and an imperfect body, leading us in real time to the very moment of her death. Written and Directed by Elton Townend Jones (Dalloway,Orlando, Jane Eyre: An Autobiography, The Time Machine). Performed by Lizzie Wort (RSC’s TheMagician’s Daughter, Animal Farm). Winner of the Three Weeks Editors Award. ★★★★★ "Asimply stunning production" Edinburgh Reporter ★★★★★ "Superlative" Remotegoat
