This dramatic comedy captures the effervescent humor of Marilyn Monroe; confused and intrigued by the signs she must follow to climb her way into heaven. In this one- woman play, Marilyn has just died and confronts voices in her head to validate her life as an actress. The play explores the multi-levels of complexity of cult goddess Marilyn Monroe – her vulnerability, anger, and loneliness, and the ways that American culture and the worship of beauty and fame shaped, aborted, and forwarded her rise to stardom. In the afterlife she relives three painful scenes from her life and a life review and strains to justify her choices to male unsympathetic judges as well as shocking people from her past. The action takes place in the mind of Marilyn on an almost empty stage.
