About the show
The shocking story of the last psychoanalytic session between Dr. Ralph Greenson and the unforgettable actress, a symbol of America, Marilyn Monroe. What happens after their meeting at her home on August 5, 1962, that hours later Marilyn is found dead? What leads to the tragic outcome? The play by Dr. Vivian Pramataroff-Hamburger and Prof. Andreas Hamburger, created based on authentic documents and events, reveals the true, dramatic essence of the great star Marilyn, hidden behind the facade of the seductive blonde desired by millions of Americans. Childhood traumas, unsuccessful marriages, the cruel mill of film sets, alcohol and barbiturates, entanglement in the webs of high politics and dangerous relationships with the Kennedy brothers connect Marilyn with the renowned scientist and psychoanalyst Dr. Ralph Greenson, who also has his own hidden family drama but wholeheartedly tries to help the young woman, even crossing the permissible distance in their relationship. A spectacle that peeks beyond the glittering facade of the legend and gazes into the essence of the unhappy woman Marilyn.
