Marking the centenary of her birth, this world premiere imagines Marilyn Monroe at 100, looking back on the girl she was and the legend she became. From wartime factory floors and nude calendars to the glare of Hollywood; from Joe DiMaggio and Arthur Miller to her final days in Brentwood, the show follows Norma Jeane’s journey through love, fame, mental illness, and survival in a system built to consume her.Blending original songs and music, written by eclectic composer and conductor Tom Fowkes, with powerful drama, this intimate new work brings us face to face with three generations of women: grandmother, mother, and daughter. In their lives, and in Marilyn’s, one question lingers: what does it cost to become a dream for everyone but yourself?
The theatre is a short walk from Highgate tube station and a slightly longer walk (or bus ride) from Archway, both on the Northern line.
