About the Show

The London premiere of Olivier Award-winner Guy Masterson's play about the suspicious death of Marilyn Monroe.

It's the summer of 1962, and seven people gathered at Marilyn Monroe’s home to celebrate her new multi-million dollar movie deal with 20th Century Fox.

At 04:30 four days later, her apparent suicide by overdose was reported to the police. But the truth is far more shocking: She was found unconscious by her housekeeper the night before at 22:35, and subsequently died at 23:40, all after a late visit from a very important guest…

This production is recommended for ages 14+.

See it if I loved the intensity of the show, the characters, the intimate set, lighting & music. Marilyn was exquisite. A captivating performance! ✨

Don't see it if I thought it was stellar but perhaps it could be a tad shorter.
