A stage monologue. Based on the conceit that Marilyn Monroe did not die, a suicide at the age of 36 in 1962, but lived on away from the public eye, watching the world instead of being watched by it. Marilyn, at seventy, talks with humour and wit of the years following her supposed death of a drug overdose. She speaks of former lovers John and Bobby Kennedy, of their deaths at the hands of mobsters, of Jackie Kennedy Onassis and her survival skill, of Madonna and her borrowing from Marlene Dietrich, Mae West and Marilyn. She looks at the 20th Century ending and comments on what it all seems to mean as we prepare to leave it behind. 1 Character: Marilyn at seventy-plus |
