A play created by John Arnold based on Blonde by Joyce Carol Oates and various documents.

Beyond the life of Norma Jean Baker, alias Marilyn Monroe, it is above all the summoning of a dream, that of a life and the promise it holds.

“I’m The Blonde… Mankind’s most famous pin-up… That’s quite an honour, isn’t it?… I love it when you look at me… I hope you never stop… I’m Miss Golden Dreams… That’s quite a responsibility, don’t you think? Tell me what you like best and I’ll do it… I’ll keep all your secrets… I’ll adore you, just love me and think of MARILYN sometimes… Break my heart you bastards. Oh hey! Let’s be HAPPY TOGETHER please, that’s why we exist… “

“Norma Jean is the story of a West Coast Cinderella Blonde. The pumpkins turn into carriages, they drink whisky and vodka and leave cocaine trails in their wake, the little mice are played by rats and pigs, and Prince Charming is not at all Prince Charming.
Showing the story of Marilyn Monroe on stage, through a monologue by her interned mother or a dialogue with a doctor or nurses, seeing her in the flesh, with all the others, Di Maggio, Miller, Kennedy, Zanuck… famous or not, in short, Hollywood, a whole world that, for the moment of a performance, comes down to earth and becomes incarnate.
It’s the great carnivorous carnival that devours the goddess with its eyes before it’s too late.
